Quotes: "You only have to force yourself to do the behavior for just that little interim period when the behavior has not become habitual yet. You're stacking it on and stacking it on and then one magical day, you're just brushing your chomps, you're just sitting down to meditate, you're just showing up at the gym. It really is an easy and magical way to get that new habit into your life.”
