I'd see it as covering for sick days, busier days etc.
Some people purposefully break their streaks and habits to make sure they give themselves mental room to have 0 days whenever needed.
(Ultimately it comes down to what's harder for you, to start or to stop. Some need strong boosters to start, others need reminders to stop)
- skrebbel 2y agoA streak strikes me as a very different thing than a habit. Habits aren't hard to pick up after a break, streaks are. I have a hard time to figure out what it means for someone to "purposefully break a habit", except in the context of bad habits of course (eg a smoker trying to not smoke for a day). This is my whole point I guess, if you manage to make exercise a habit and not a streak (by making it fun, and feeling good, and having space for it in the daily calendar), then you can stop worrying about 0 days altogether and just do it every day except when you don't.
