2. Develop Incremental Habits

Positive, incremental habits are small, constructive routines you consistently incorporate into your daily life. Over time, these actions can become automatic, requiring less effort and thought process. They can alter your behaviour and, consequently, your identity.

Understanding this and having the patience to execute it will surprise you how much your
