Establishing new habits, such as exercise, meditation, or waking early, can often lead to failure when approached too aggressively. Instead of diving in headfirst, it’s beneficial to start small and gradually increase the intensity over time.

By starting with a manageable task and adjusting as needed, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Give it a try and see how it can positively impact your habit-forming journey!
