making lasting changes

Turn self-awareness into a lifelong habit by scheduling regular “check-ins.” Every week, take five minutes to reflect: how is my body feeling, how are my emotions, how am I behaving? By making this reflection part of your routine — like brushing your teeth or planning your week — you train yourself to spot small shifts before they become bigger problems.
