Why do we continue to make the same mistakes...even if we don't make them as frequently as we used to?

I asked myself this question today after a disappointing training session. I know that if I don't stretch, do yoga and have a weekly massage my recovery and flexibility in lifting is compromised. So why was I surprised that I had challenging training session?

I know that if I don't take Evening Primrose Oil on a regular basis eventually I will suffer from PMS. So now I am moping around as I haven't taken any for 2 months.

Fortunately I don't make these mistakes too often, and they tend to be quick to remedy......but I still do it!
