Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There are a few situations that go badly every single time
- I keep meaning to start a good new habit
- I keep trying to change this completely on my own, in secret, and the moment life gets stressful the old way snaps right back and I quietly decide I’m just someone who can’t change
- My bad habits run on autopilot but the good one I’m trying to build never feels automatic
- Every time I try to break this habit I just try to white-knuckle it away and grit my teeth through the craving
