304 - Turning Instincts Into Habits, Pt.1
While you may think that forming good habits requires brute force, driven-ness, and fighting your inner desires, the truth is that we all possess intuition that has the potential for great habits. If we ignore this intuition, its voice becomes quiet and our bad habits are reinforced. As you heal your heart and learn to value yourself, you will become more sensitive to your own intuition, providing ample opportunity to develop good habits.
