When we don't get any treats, we feel depleted, resentful, and angry, and we feel justified in self-indulgence. We start to crave comfort - and grab that comfort wherever we can, even if it means breaking good habits.

These tasks weren't urgent (which was the reason they didn't get done), but because they weighed on my mind, they sapped my energy.

Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.

A 'treat' is different from a 'reward,' which must be justified or earned. A treat is a small pleasure or indulgence that we give to ourselves just because we want it. Treats give us greater vitality, which boosts self-control, which helps us maintain our healthy habits.

Your habits guide and sculpt your path. The same process that builds habits can break habits.

Good habits formed at youth make all the difference.
