Don't be shy - just try!
Claire
How’s your new night-time routine going? Are you sleeping better?
Allan
Eh... it’s a work in progress. Old habits die hard, but I’m giving it my all. Scrolling on my phone in bed? That was the hardest to stop.
Claire
Oh, I hear you. So, how’s it working out so far?
Allan
Kind of okay. I’ve set a goal to read for 20 minutes before bed instead of doom-scrolling.
Claire
That’s a solid plan! Are you sticking to it?
Allan
Trying to, but I’ve had a few slip-ups. Still, I’m doing my best to stay consistent. I’m done with making excuses.
Claire
Slip-ups happen—it’s all part of the process.
Allan
Yeah, I’m learning to cut myself some slack and it’s making it easier to keep going even when things aren’t perfect.
