Is Your Habit Habitable?

Before a habit becomes a routine, it begins as a tiny, private agreement between you and your future self. But not every agreement is livable. Some habits collapse because they are built on a borrowed motivation, the kind that evaporates the moment the world gets loud again. Others fail because they ask you to leap when your nervous system is still learning how to stand. A habitable habit is one that meets you where you already are: it links itself to something you naturally do, stacks onto rhythms you don't have to negotiate with, and grows in an emotional climate that feels safe rather than demanding. The question isn't whether you can force a behaviour into existence, but whether it can breathe in the ecosystem of your current life?
