Research says desire alone is not enough to make us change a bad habit to a good one. But by using a process of identifying the new behavior, finding the right trigger, and rewarding ourselves consistently, we can create lasting change. – Brenda Reiss

Adapting to new habits is a process of self-care and self-forgiveness, requiring awareness and willingness to change. It’s more than just cutting out bad behaviors; it’s about creating new structures to facilitate healthy replacements. Consciously replacing an unhealthy habit, like drinking coffee, with a healthy one, like drinking water, and adequately rewarding the effort is an affirmative step towards habit adaptation.
