We all experience barriers, especially when it comes to doing things that are outside of our comfort zones. The first step in breaking down barriers is to identify what they are. Then, find ways to make the process easier and more enjoyable for yourself so that you can create a lasting routine that you actually like to return to daily. This week’s schedule is designed with daily tips to help you explore barrier-breaking methods and figure out what works best for you.
