Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I keep reaching for tracking apps and tidy action plans before I’ve done any of the inner work, and they never stick
  • I have no real read on whether I’m actually doing this or just feel like I am
  • I notice this habit goes wild exactly when I’m wound up
  • I reach for the same go-to fix for every change
  • I’ve been white-knuckling this change through sheer willpower and keep collapsing back

Practices that may help

  1. Apply the experiential processes early, behavioral ones later
    Use consciousness-raising and emotional arousal early; counter-conditioning and stimulus control after you commit.

  2. Install feedback loops to track behavior and adjust
