She walks through pausing to audit the automatic behaviors that fill a day, naming the ones that pull against a slower life, and replacing them one at a time with something better. Her takeaway is that healthy habits are built in small repeated steps, and the results show themselves over time rather than overnight. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://thiswondrouslife.com/twl/simple-living-building-intentional-habits Quotes to ponder: "Our habits build our foundation. Whatever we are pursuing, be that a dream or lifestyle change, our habits matter." "Changing habits and leaning into new routines and rhythms does not happen overnight. This is the space and time to extend extra grace to yourself and take small bites versus huge mouthfuls." "I'm not following a trend, I'm changing a lifestyle and that takes time. The results are not instantaneous, but show themselves over time."
