Loved reading this!!

Willpower is indeed not a great tool for lasting change. We are human, and if I know one thing: we never have the same willpower every day. I really love the connection you make between what we call ‘discipline’ just being a smart design of your surroundings, amazing!

‘When your intentions and environments clash, the environment will always win’ really stuck with me. I really think not so many people are aware of it. Actually, I feel like our environments are quietly deciding what we’re doing everyday. So interesting!

exactly this! it’s something not enough of us are aware of, and my aim is to change that :)

The environment is crucial to helping you stick to your habits. I had struggled for so long until I figured it out. Now, building habits has never been easier.

This was such an interesting read 💚 The research makes it so much easier to understand why some habits often feel harder (or easier) than they should depending on the environment around us!
