Habits play an interesting and powerful role in our lives. Once established, they become almost automatic behavior. They are hard to break and seemingly even harder to start.

The kinds of habits we want to institute are, of course, the good kind—the ones that support a healthy, happy, thriving life. Exercising regularly, saving money, keeping a tidy home, eating well, engaging in creative pursuits, devoting time to priorities, reducing screen time, and nurturing relationships are all examples of habits people commonly wish to establish.
