Let’s face it – changing habits is like trying to teach an old dog new tricks, and we’re all just here wondering if our resolutions are secretly laughing at us. This blog post delves into the drama of setting intentions that are more heartwarming than a rom-com.

Breaking old habits is like peeling an onion – lots of layers, and it might make you cry. Our minds are like stubborn turtles, slow to embrace change even when we’re itching to break free. We’ve all been at that crossroads, debating whether to stick to the same old routine, go hardcore with resolutions, or take the scenic route with mindful intentions.
