Setting goals is the easy part of any new habit-change. I’m an expert at setting goals! I could fill notebooks of things I’d like to achieve and the general steps that I’d need to follow to succeed.

The real challenges? Starting. Following-through. Staying committed. And most importantly, recovering after falling off course.

Before we dive in, a reminder that today’s essay is a paid subscriber exclusive. If you’d like to submit a question to be answered in a future installment, message me or submit a question on the chat.
