Many of us struggle with quitting new healthy habit changes because they seem too hard. Too overwhelming. Too taxing for our energy or time. Or just too uncomfortable. 

But what if we lowered our standards for what we "count" as achieving the healthy habit? You may think this would mean you won't reach your long term health goals. But if "lowering the threshold" of what you consider acceptable in a health habit keeps you consistent in doing SOMETHING in that health area, instead of quitting entirely, there's a strong case to go ahead and do it!
