“You can miss a day or two and you will not be set back to zero. An omission is not a license to cheat or keep failing. Your habit-in-formation is not so fragile that it requires perfection. If you miss a day or fall off the wagon, don’t despair. Instead, use it as an opportunity to make your context tighter, stronger, and clearer.”
