What a wonderful question. Yes I hope the program will help people keep track of that sense of themselves. Thanks for your comment.

about a year ago, i started the habit of simply asking myself at the end of the day, “what’s one occasion where i’ve felt like i was really myself?” that has been very useful and interesting. i guess a program like yours would help to keep track of that …

Hi Chris. The idea that if we adopt habit X then people will do what we want, isn’t in line with my experience (to put it as kindly as possible). If only it were this easy! (Though I’m not sure about making people do what we want anyway.) My idea is developing the habit of just checking in with ourselves. The next step is acting in response to what we find (a whole ‘nother story). I think once we have a good sense of who/where we are then we can live a more satisfying life. Thanks for your comment.

I like this fresh new take on the concept of habits — many uses of the term in the personal development context have me feel irritated, because they seem to be premised on the idea that all we need to do is adopt Habit X and that will “make people do what we want.” But this seems to be more about simply adopting the habit of checking in with what you want in each moment.
