We look for a quick fix for a problem that has had a long time to develop. A strict diet. Doing physical therapy exercises for a few weeks. Taking a few days off when stress levels get too high.<\/p>\n          <p>That might help a little in the short term, but the underlying cause remains. As soon as you start feeling better, you fall back into your old patterns and end up right back where you started.<\/p>\n          <p>Lasting change begins with the choices you make almost automatically every single day. What you eat when you\u2019re tired. How much you sit. What time you go to bed. How you handle stress. Doing it once makes no difference. Doing it a thousand times does.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n        <ol class=\"lcw-chain\">\n          <li><strong>A Choice<\/strong><span>Innocuous in itself, and therefore easy to ignore.<\/span><\/li>\n          <li><strong>Repetition<\/strong><span>If you make the same choice often enough, it eventually becomes automatic.<\/span><\/li>\n          <li><strong>A habit<\/strong><span>You don\u2019t think about it anymore.
