Episode notes
Commitments Convert Trying Into Habits
- The commitment to change moves you from vague effort to measurable action and long-term change.
- It reframes 'try harder' into specific weekly habits that accumulate into lasting recovery.
Make Commitments Specific
- Be specific when you write a commitment to change so you can actually hit it this week.
- Define day, time, and measurable behavior (e.g., be in bed by 10 or eat veggies twice today).
Avoid One-Off Goals
- Avoid one-off tasks that don't create lasting patterns or habits in your life.
- Connect weekly commitments to larger changes you want, not just a single errand or event.
