Description
We see our partner falling into unhealthy habits and would just love to help them overcome them.
Yet... The harder we push, the more likely the other person is to pull away.
Whether it's eating healthier, exercising, helping more around the house, or changing a habit... lasting change almost never happens because someone else nags us into it.
People change when THEY decide it's worth changing.
That doesn't mean we stop encouraging the people we love. It means we stop believing we can carry their motivation for them.
Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is step back and let ownership become theirs.
