return gracefully
Inspired by Bearly Significant's post, It's okay to not feel like writing, right?.
While deadlines can help maintain consistency, they aren't foolproof. When the fun stops or you're feeling pressured to maintain a streak, don't quit immediately. Instead, take a deserved break. Intend to return gracefully later.
Even the strongest streaks can be broken by factors outside your control. Getting back up is often in your control. If returning feels wrong or impossible, consider exploring other activities. Accept the aspects of life you cannot control right now, and focus on what you can influence.
