That's brilliant. I need to think through and analyse these bad habits. The elevator rather than the stairs; asking someone to bring something to my study rather than going down and getting it, cake for comfort and to relax. Wow, I need to analyse the small habits which are my enemy, and that's how I might be able to deal with the big picture. Just as the big picture is made up of a hundred bad habits, it can be reversed by reversing the hundred bad habits. Wow!
That's a very helpful idea, Jen, thanks.

So, the woman told me that our bodies have histories, just like the other parts of us (mental, emotional, spiritual…), and I didn't get to where I am overnight. To pay attention to my small habits, like sloppy posture, and that those small habits, when corrected, will make an enormous difference. She left me with the tiniest assignment, that I thought silly (a very slight pelvic squeeze/tilt to adjust my stance), but it's helping!

The application for you, I guess, is to focus on those very small habits that are your enemy, not the big picture, maybe? My body issues are different from yours, but probably have the same root!
