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

• I keep waffling and breaking my own little promises to myself, so there’s no track record to point to
• I tell myself I’m "mostly being good" about the thing I’m trying to change, but when I’m honest I have no real record
• I’m convinced I’ve been mostly sticking to it, but when I’m honest I’m really remembering my intentions, not what I actually did
• I’m always making plans with myself and breaking them, and somewhere along the way I stopped trusting my own word
• I say "I’m someone who never quits," but my history is full of things I walked away from, and that gap between who I claim to be and what I’ve actually done sits in me as a low hum of unease I can’t quite name.

Practices that may help

6. Build trust with yourself through consistent small commitments

8. Build a pattern, not a one-off heroic effort

   Committed Action, Made Practical
9. Track streaks as motivation, not as guilt

   Mini Habits, Made Practical
10. Track the action, not the outcome
