#2Flipping the bit to default on for biking to work at my last job was such a huge change, won mostly by a couple months nudges.
There's a general interest of mine in of trying to make effective habits. Questioning what's about & inquiring, what would be a good choice here, & trying to make it happen. Making this a broad pattern we apply regularly, with habit, across situations.
A positive outlook isn't about discipline: that's a negative framing of the effort. The positive take is doing good things, that lead to better conditions latter.

Hey, first of all, thanks for being the first reply on my first post ever!
Congrats on achieving the change! I like your framing of the positive take, as I too definitely believe we accomplish things by taking small steps in the right direction.
I also get where you're coming from with regards to discipline; I hadn't thought of it that way yet, as it being something that "forces" us to do something we actually don't want to be doing. I also think you can approach it from a positive side though, as being a kind of "habit" that you have built through intentional, hard work.
