It’s the first day and you’re a powerhouse of motivation.

You’re excited and fired up to do this thing. Without the slightest doubt in your mind you know you’ll be crushing this. You have thought this through and you’re all-in to build this new habit into your life.

Or so you think it will go.

By day 30, you find yourself back in square one.

You’re everything but excited. The first few days or weeks (who even knows it anymore) you were crushing it. Everything seemed to flow easily and effortlessly.

Then it all crushed down.

You’re left confused (and hella-lot frustrated).

“Why can’t I stick with the new habit?” you ask yourself. This is not the first time that you ask this question. You have been here before.

And it’s no fun to be here.

Healthy habits improve your mental, emotional, and physical health (and they make you look better). Certain habits even have the potential to skyrocket your career or finances (or both).

The right habits make our lives better and easier.

So, why do we fail to stick with them?
