For many years, our family gathered in the evening to study the scriptures. For a long time, it worked beautifully—until it slowly didn’t. As the kids grew older, evenings filled up with sports, activities, friends, and other commitments. Little by little, our scripture study began to fade, and I wasn’t sure how to fix it.

I spent time thinking and praying about what to do. Again and again, I felt a gentle prompting to try studying in the morning instead. At first, I resisted the idea completely. I am not a morning person, and I couldn’t think of a single habit I’d ever successfully built early in the day. But the more I prayed and reflected, the more right it felt.

So I decided to take everything I had learned about building habits and create this new approach. As I did, I felt inspired—and I also felt this extra clarity to be aware of the exact steps I was taking. When the habit was finally in place and working smoothly, I felt another clear prompting: I needed to write it all down in a workbook. That experience is what led me to create this workbook, to walk others step by step through habit building using my unique approach to gentle habit creation that lasts in your home!
