Rather than trying to start the habit in its best form possible, focus on removing obstacles first.

As life improvement blog Riskology points out, obstacles are the enemy of the habit.

Except,it doesnt have to.

Not waiting to get a good deal on running gear.

Not feeling too busy.

None of these potential failure points are a part of the habit-maintenance process for me.

If Im alive and feeling at least reasonably well, Im running on a pre-determined schedule.

This might mean that your habits arent revolutionary changes right off the bat.

The important thing is momentum.
