Quotes to ponder:
"Willpower is a limited resource, it gets depleted over time, which is why it rarely leads to lasting change."
"The key to building new habits is understanding why you resist them and meeting yourself with compassion, not criticism."
"Shame and self-blame are the enemies of change because they keep you stuck in a cycle of avoidance and self-punishment."
