Build a Daily Habit You’ll Actually Enjoy

Cue-Action-Reward, the Gentle Way

Pick a cue you already do: boiling water, parking your car, sitting on the couch. Add a two-minute guided practice. Reward with a sip, a stretch, or a smile. Celebrate consistency over intensity.

Use a simple log: date, minutes, mood before and after. Notice patterns—Mondays calmer with breath work, Thursdays easier after walking meditation. Comment with your pattern to help others discover theirs.

Community Keeps You Showing Up

Invite a friend to join. Share a weekly check-in: What practice helped most? What felt sticky? Subscribe for new guides every Sunday, then reply with your favorite so we can craft more like it.
