Habits
Values-Based Goals
Values-based goals connect habits to personal meaning—not just scale outcomes—so motivation survives plateaus when metrics stall.
Values-based goals tie behaviors to what matters—health for family time, strength for hiking—not only scale outcomes or aesthetic deadlines. They survive plateaus because identity and meaning persist when metrics stall.
Write why before how: I train to keep up with my kids beats lose ten pounds by June alone.
