I started a diet a few days ago. After following an extremely carb-heavy diet for the majority of this school year, suddenly switching to a no-carb diet has been wrecking me. The radical change in the type of food I was eating led to violent and explosive diarrhea. As I sat on the can, it got me thinking. There's always intense resistance to change of any kind.
Newton's first law defines inertia as an object's ability to resistance change to its state of motion. This idea of inertia doesn't only apply to the difficulty of accelerating a certain mass, but also to habits or addictions. The more "massive" it gets, the more you reinforce it, the harder it will be to break out of it.
It's 3 AM so I hope that made some sort of sense. Just in case, here's the tl;dr version:
Be careful about the habits you form. The more you reinforce them, the harder it will be to break out of them.
Just some thoughts I've been having. Trying to keep my blog posts a bit shorter so I can get myself to update more often.
