Summary

You don't fall off your health practices in one dramatic moment. You drift. Slowly, almost imperceptibly — one small compromise at a time, one skipped morning routine, one week where things got busy and you told yourself you'd get back to it. And then you look up and realize the fire has gone out. I introduce the Campfire Principle — the idea that it is infinitely easier to add a log to a dimming fire than to restart one that has gone cold. And I share the story of a client who broke the cycle of falling completely off track by learning something surprisingly simple: how to recognize her own earliest signals of drift. This episode will help you identify your personal misalignment cues — the specific, early signs that you are starting to drift — so you can do something about it while the fire is still burning. Not when it's out. Want to keep going?
