Why is it so hard to stay consistent with the habits we know are good for us?

In this episode of Reflect and Protect, we take the principle of Gukkee (self-control) and explore why it often breaks down in everyday life — especially when we’re tired, stressed, or overwhelmed.

Drawing on behavioural science, we look at how decision fatigue, environment, and timing influence our choices, and why relying on willpower alone is not enough.

More importantly, this episode offers a different approach — shifting the focus from discipline to strategy, and from perfection to consistency — showing how small adjustments in key moments can lead to lasting change.
