Be realistic when you plan and optimistic when you execute

-Will take longer than planned

-Be more difficult than you thought

-Filled with unexpected events and distractions

-People around won't notice your progress.

-You'll be disappointed when you realize that it was only a good day but not yet a long-term result

-And it's never a (complete) win. There is always maintenance to be done.

-It's hard but I'll get there

-It's long but it's worth it

-I got distracted, but I'll get back on track

-I'm doing it for me first and they'll notice eventually

-This good day is a sign that I'm on the right path

- This new habit brings me joy and meaning, so why would I ever stop...
