Have you ever noticed that right when you are finally doing better, it suddenly gets harder,

0:04.1

like your brain turns the volume up and tries to drag you back into the old habit?

0:08.6

That is not you failing. That is a real psychological phenomenon called extinction burst.

0:13.7

And it's the reason so many people relapse right when they are closest to a breakthrough.
