Most habit change fails because the environment stays the same. If the environment doesn’t support your habit then you are making your discipline work overtime. Here are a few practical ways to create a supportive environment: - PHYSICAL: Put the habit where you can see it and remove what competes with it. If starting requires extra steps, it won’t last. - DIGITAL: Your attention follows what’s loudest. Mute, remove, or reorder anything that pulls focus away from the habit you’re trying to build. - TIME: Habits stick when they fit your natural energy, not when they’re forced into your most exhausted hours. - SOCIAL: You don’t need everyone’s support, but you do need fewer people undermining the change. Behavior normalizes to the room. - WORK: If your day is reactive, habits become optional. Structure your work so focus isn’t constantly interrupted. - EMOTIONAL: Reduce pressure and self-judgment. Habits that feel heavy or punishing don’t get repeated. You don’t need more motivation — you need fewer environmental contradictions. Which environment is quietly working against the habit you’re trying to build right now?

After motivation wears off, there’s a moment when something stops feeling exciting and starts feeling normal. That moment isn’t failure — it’s the handoff point. Motivation got you started. Consistency is what carries it forward. I talk more about this in the video on what happens after motivation wears off. Here’s a simple way to support yourself when things stop feeling new. ✨ Tool: Habit Stacking (Make It Real): Instead of adding something big, attach something small to what you already do. Examples: - While your coffee is brewing, do 10 squats. - After you brush your teeth, stretch for 30 seconds. - When you sit down at your desk, write one sentence. - After you open your laptop, review one task — not your whole list. Stack similar energy with similar energy: movement with movement, thinking with thinking, setup with setup...The habit doesn’t need to be impressive. It needs to be repeatable. ✨ Watch the video, then reflect: What’s one small thing you could do consistently — even if it feels almost too easy? Because it’s always better to be consistent with a small something than inconsistent with a big anything 🤎

New things don’t feel hard because you can’t do them. They feel hard because they’re unfamiliar — and unfamiliar work creates uncertainty. Your brain reads uncertainty as risk. That’s normal. Nothing is “wrong.” Instead of trying to push through that feeling, here are two simple problem-solving tools you can use when something new feels heavy. 1️⃣ Shrink the problem: Use this when starting feels overwhelming. Ask yourself:👉 “What is the smallest thing I can do right now?” Examples: - open the document - write one sentence - outline one step You’re not trying to finish. You’re just making the work clear enough to start. 2️⃣ Do a first pass: Use this when you’re stuck trying to do it “right.” Think in one simple loop: - Plan: What’s my best guess? - Do: Try it once. - Check: What worked? - Adjust: Fix one thing next time. You’re not committing — you’re testing. 💡 Discomfort doesn’t mean stop. It usually just means you’ve never done this before. Watch the short above, then reply below:👉 What are you working on right now — and does it feel too big or too uncertain?

Here’s a simple Reset tool you can use anytime things feel cluttered or heavy: Start / Stop / Continue Grab a piece of paper and write three columns: START: What’s one thing you know would help, but you haven’t started yet? STOP: What’s draining time or energy that doesn’t need to continue right now? CONTINUE: What’s working that you don’t want to accidentally abandon? Don’t overthink it. One item per column is enough. This tool isn’t about fixing everything — it’s about creating clarity so your next step feels obvious. If you want, drop one word or phrase from your list below. (We’ll also be working through tools like this together during the Reset live on Wednesday at 5:30pm PST for anyone who wants to go deeper.)

Next week, I’m hosting a LIVE, guided working session where we’ll work through The Reset workbook together and answer questions in real time. This isn’t a webinar — it’s a working meeting. We’ll slow things down, get clear, and actually move through the workbook together so you can leave with clarity and next steps. If you know what you should do but feel stuck deciding or executing, this session is for you.
