How to handle a string of skip days in the Do [x] Daily program is a common concern. Yesterday is over. You just have to forget about the past and move on with today. Don’t beat yourself up over any skips, and just be sure you still intend to do your thing daily.

Running – If you have had a setback in a daily running program for anything other than an injury or illness, just go back out there and run. If you have been feeling a bit sore or overworked, you may want to start back a little slower or shorter distance than your usual pace/distance. The important thing is to keep at it daily. Remember why you are running every day and let that help keep you motivated. I often feel a little bad after a string of skip days, and that helps me remember why I run every day. I want to feel good and be healthy, so I run every day until I get a signal that I need a rest day…

You can do the same approach with any other daily habit; just ease back after any period of slack, and just re-commit to daily action. Or, some things may not fit into a daily program, and that is fine- you gave it a try and it didn’t fit, so just go back to an occasional schedule and be happy.
