What Writing Is Teaching Me About Pattern Breaking?

I had to quit. Damn! I would definitely. Not writing, but specific habits which were not letting me move further on my writing journey. But how to identify those habits was the question? Freely expressing my thoughts had given me space to identify and break those patterns.
A thousand questions trouble me, but calm self-introspection without any pressure is a simple answer to deal with them. It always makes me feel good. Sharing with a calm mind and thoroughly thinking about my experiences is the best way to identify the pattern, whether it's positive or negative.
Once a day I was not writing and was just thinking of skipping continuity. However, I ignored the thought and wrote. Some days later the same excuse came, and that also I ignored and continued. The same thing happened again and again over four to five days. I was almost at the end line of breaking the continuity, but I didn't.
I noticed it and wrote about my previous excuse-making habits the next day in the blog. Then I wrote about laziness after it. On the third day, my brain was not giving excuses and was just helping me defeat laziness. Isn't it the best way to get rid of excuses?
Days passed, no excuses, no laziness, just the will to continue without any hesitation and pressure. I acknowledged my mistake at an early stage and tried my best to win over it. I preferred awareness over any reaction and responded calmly.
Any pattern is easy to make and difficult to break, mainly the negative ones. I tried to understand my pattern at the foundation which may cost me discipline and consistency. I couldn't afford the cost, so I broke it.
Rewriting habits every single day to step forward slowly toward the end goal.
