You can be kind to yourself without solving anything.
Sometimes that’s the point.

We keep treating well-being like something we have to leave life to find.
But what helps is often closer than we think.
That’s the heart of Micropractice.
Not watering anything down.
A real practice in its own right—and if you have a longer practice, a way to help it travel.
We’re more ready for this than we realize.

Meditation works beautifully.
Until the bell rings.
Then come the emails.
The meeting.
The traffic.
The problem isn’t that practice fails.
It’s that it doesn’t always travel.
I wrote about how micropractice helps bridge that gap.

When something good happens,
your brain moves on quickly.
It’s efficient that way.
So try this:
Stay with the good
for one full breath longer than usual.
Let it land.
Memory is strengthened
by duration.

A hard day does not cancel your progress.
Returning after a hard day is the progress.

What if the secret to making a habit stick isn’t more willpower—but making it easier to repeat?
HealthCentral just featured Micropractice, my research on habit formation, and many of the evidence-based strategies from Chapter 6.
Big thank you to Mirel Zaman for such a thoughtful piece. And to Arefa Cassoobhoy, MD, MPH for her careful fact-checking.
Micropractice is out September 29—and available for preorder now.

We don’t need more willpower.
We need less friction.
Put the practice where your life already is.
After the coffee.
During the walk.
At the sink.
Behavior follows design.

You don’t have to earn rest
by becoming exhausted first.

Self-compassion is not bubble baths or affirmations.
It’s drinking water.
Trying again.
Putting your feet on the floor.
Not making a hard day harder.
