Personal practice
Default framing
Change by willpower impacts: try harder, push yourself, one big decision.
Juarrero reframing
Habits and identity are constraint regimes. Change enabling and governing constraints in your environment and schedule; intentions work as attractors when the landscape supports them. Small structural changes beat pure self-pushing.
Three concrete moves
- Add one enabling constraint (friction removal, cue redesign, social commitment).
- Remove one misgoverning constraint (always-on notifications, conflicting goals).
- Use safe-fail: small experiments, not identity-threatening all-or-nothing vows.
