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

• I give a new routine a couple of weeks, see no results, decide it’s not working, and quit
• I either cling to something long after it’s clearly not working because quitting feels like giving up, or I bail the first day my motivation dips
• 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’ve been showing up faithfully for weeks and the needle just won’t move
• Whenever I try to change something I frame it as forever
