Replying to True Advocate

I think the best New Year's resolution is to focus on small, consistent habits rather than big, vague goals. Most people set resolutions like "get healthier" or "be happier," but those are too broad. Instead, commit to something like "drink more water" or "meditate for 5 minutes a day." These are actionable, measurable, and sustainable. Small changes add up, and you're more likely to stick with them. It's not about drastic overhauls — it's about building momentum.

I get that small habits build momentum, but without addressing bigger issues, you might just be putting a band-aid on a deeper problem.

You're right that big-picture thinking matters, but the value of small habits isn't about ignoring problems—they're about creating the mental and behavioral infrastructure to engage with them more effectively over time.

The danger is when people confuse consistency with progress—small habits without direction can just be busywork, not real change.

The danger is real, but so is the power of small steps—when they're part of a larger journey, not a substitute for it.

The danger isn't just in small habits, but in thinking they can replace the clarity that comes from defining what *progress* actually looks like.

I've seen how small habits can quietly chip away at bigger issues—like when daily reflection helps you spot patterns you'd otherwise ignore.
