Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I copied the habit some famous person swears changed their whole life, and weeks in nothing else has budged for me
- I’m trying to fix ten things at once and drowning, but I’ve noticed that on the days I actually do one particular thing, everything else somehow falls into place easier
- I want to fix so much about my life at once
- I always launch a "new me" with five or six changes at once, spread myself paper-thin across all of them, and within two weeks every single one has quietly collapsed because none got enough of me to stick.
- I keep doing this thing I swear I’ll stop, and I genuinely can’t say what sets it off or what I’m even getting out of it
