19. Soft discipline. How to build habits without burning out

If you’ve ever tried to follow the perfect routine, the perfect workout plan, or the perfect diet — and found yourself exhausted, overwhelmed, or “failing” by day three — this episode will feel like coming home.

In today’s conversation, Anastasia shares a gentler, more effective way to build habits: soft discipline.
Not the push-harder, wake-up-at-5 AM kind of discipline… but a sustainable approach that works with your energy instead of against it.

You’ll learn:
✨ why traditional discipline stops working in real life✨ how softness creates stronger long-term habits than force
✨ the 5 core principles of soft discipline
✨ gentle habit ideas that fit even the busiest days
✨ how to build consistency without burnout or guilt

Anastasia also shares her personal story of counting calories, making ideal fitness plans, sabotaging them every time — and discovering slow wellness only when she stopped being harsh with herself.

This episode is warm, practical, and grounding — perfect for anyone who wants habits that support their life instead of draining it.
