text:  If you save $100 for retirement this month, that doesn't feel like much in the beginning. It's easy to dismiss it. It's like, well, I can't retire on $100. And the same way, performing a habit, some small, better behavior today often doesn't feel like a whole lot. What's the difference between eating a burger and fries for lunch or eating a salad? On any given day, not very much. Your body looks basically the same in the mirror. The scale doesn't really change.
