The reason you keep falling off may have less to do with discipline, and more to do with identity.
In this clip from Know Thyself, the conversation explores why starting a new habit can feel easy for a few weeks, then suddenly fall apart.
You can force yourself to go to the gym, eat differently, wake up earlier, or build a new routine. But if you still do not see yourself as the kind of person who lives that way, the habit has to rely on constant effort.
And when stress, exhaustion, or low motivation shows up, the brain often returns to what feels most familiar.
This is why lasting change is not only about what you do. It is also about who you believe you are becoming.
