## Start smaller than you think

The habits that stick are the ones too small to skip. Two minutes of stretching beats an hour-long workout you never start.

## Five to try this week

- **Water first:** a glass of water before your morning chai
- **Plate check:** half vegetables at lunch and dinner
- **Walk after meals:** ten minutes, even indoors
- **Screens off at 10:** your sleep sets tomorrow's cravings
- **One mindful meal:** no phone, just food

## Stack, don't replace

Tie each new habit to something you already do. After brushing, fill your bottle. After lunch, walk. Anchors make habits automatic.

> Bad days are part of the plan. Missing once is a blip; the habit is what you do next.
