It is impossible to overstate the importance of giving yourself the freedom to experiment, fail, and try again. Remember that we are wired to fail. Evolution has bequeathed us a brain that optimizes for survival and reproduction, not long-term health planning. If you get all overheated about whatever tactic you choose first and put too much pressure on yourself to get it work, you will deplete your resiliency. It’s helpful to approach habit formation with the same attitude we hope to emplly during meditation: every time you get lost, just begin again. ~ Page 73 ( “Meditation for Fidgety Skjeptics” - Author - Dan Harris)
