Choose a trial period for a new ritual

Agree to try the practice a small number of times before deciding whether to keep it.

Try this

  1. Define the number of attempts and the activity’s smallest usable version before starting.
  2. At the agreed review, discuss comfort and effort, not a streak. Keep stopping as a real outcome rather than assuming the trial guarantees continuation.

A worked example

“Let’s try two Sunday walks, then see if we want another.”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Review comfort and usefulness rather than measuring perfect adherence.
