#018 - The Real Reason Healthy Habits Don't Last

You can follow a plan for weeks, even months, and still watch it quietly fall apart the moment life gets heavy again.

It reframes lasting health change as an identity problem, not a motivation problem, and shows why the behaviors that survive for decades are the ones the brain stops experiencing as effort.
