The roller coaster of healthy habits is exhausting. You're either completely on track with your workouts, meal prep, and sleep schedule, or you're completely off: avoiding the scale, eating whatever's easiest, and telling yourself you'll deal with it later.

Most high achievers experience this pendulum swing because our brains are wired to chase immediate rewards. When work blows up or life gets messy, we default to what gives us the fastest payoff - answering emails at 10 p.m. instead of going to bed, or finishing projects instead of heading to the gym.

The good news is that breaking this cycle doesn't mean preventing every slip or creating stricter rules. Tune in this week to learn why you find yourself stuck in the on-again, off-again cycle with your healthy habits, how both extremes of the pendulum offer temporary comfort but keep you stuck, and tools that will keep you from abandoning yourself.
