This resonates so much! I just shared some similar ideas in my email yesterday. The “white-knuckling” through just doesn’t feel right, does it? And it’s not just that it’s not sustainable, I am also not a fan of how we speak to ourselves and the patters we repeat when we force ourselves to do things (even in the name of “better health”).
The approach I suggested is: curiosity; and making decisions one step at a time without needing to turn it into a routine.
For me personally, this also honors my value of agency.

Thank you Hanna, I will check out your piece. Curiosity and agency are such important elements here!
Thank you!
