You don’t become a new person in a day. You become one in how you spend the next hundred Tuesdays.

Change does not live in decisions, it lives in repetitions. Deciding takes an evening and feels enormous, while the actual work is unremarkable and spread across months of ordinary days where nothing dramatic happens. Tuesdays matter more than New Year because there are so many of them.

Pick one small thing and attach it to a day that already repeats: after practice, before your shift, as soon as you get in. Do it badly rather than skipping it when you are tired. Count weeks, not feelings.
