Breaking Bad Habits
Catching the automatic behaviors that quietly work against you and resisting them in the moment. These milestones track impulse control and course-corrections: fixing your posture, getting to bed on time, skipping the late-night snack or unneeded purchase, closing hoarded tabs, biting back gossip, and reshaping the patterns that define your days.
