Habit Reformation

Try a new thing it fails. Start again it fails. Start again and again it fails. When we try to reform habits we always want to “Get it Right” this time and we “know more” than we did before so push ourselves harder, we institute more constraints, we push ourselves to do more and more hoping that the clicking moment will happen this time for sure.
