Changing your habits is counter-intuitive.
It is not about being on day 856 of not engaging with this habit.
It is about connecting to something else so deeply that when someone happens to mention the habit you used to engage in, you think “Oh wow! I haven’t thought about that in ages, I almost forgot it existed.”
This is true emotional breakthrough.
Habit change is an emotional shift. It’s not about continuously playing rational chess in your mind.
This is what you should aim for when removing destructive habits.
