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

• My streak counter snapping back to zero the moment I miss once is weirdly devastating
• I’ve got weeks of tracking data and all I do is feel good or bad about the score
• I report that I missed it, we both nod, and then I go hit the exact same wall next week
• I can see exactly which days I slip but I have no idea why some days I follow through and others I don’t
• I build up a long streak and then the day I miss one, something in me says "well, that’s ruined now" and I quit entirely
