Deep dives

Embracing Iteration in Habit Formation

Developing new habits should be approached with a mindset of iteration rather than perfection. It’s essential to understand that the initial attempt may not yield the desired results, and adjustments might be necessary. For instance, rather than giving up on family dinners after facing rejection from children, one might consider serving meals family style or offering flexible options to include everyone’s preferences. This flexibility allows for creating a shared experience, focusing on the time spent together rather than the food served.
