"Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way... you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions. "
Aristotle Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)
A tiring day yesterday. Perhaps more to do with my relaxing of good habits (drinking fluids regularly, chewing properly, breathing, regular breaks etc) than extraordinary levels of activity and achievement :-). So I'll take that as feedback to revert to the productive and energizing disciplines.
The power of habits is often understated. There isn't really much to say further on this - only action is necessary. Perhaps a couple of additional quotes:
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle
"First we make our habits, and then our habits make us" - John Dryden
