Watched a guy at the YMCA in Reno floss with his eyes closed for 4 minutes, and now I get why my routine never stuck
I was on the treadmill last Tuesday and this older guy next to me did his whole floss routine with his eyes shut and no mirror. He looked like he was meditating, not cleaning his teeth. Meanwhile I'm at home rushing through it in 30 seconds while watching TV. Started trying the eyes-closed thing this week and I actually finish the full 2 minutes now. Has anyone else tied a habit to a weird little ritual like that?
My buddy started doing his pushups while the coffee brews and now he can't skip them, says the smell is his little cue. Weird how tying it to something else in the room just makes it stick. Gonna try the eyes closed thing next time I brush.
