Let me tell you a true, short story about how YouHabits came to be. Back in September 2016, I took on a big challenge: running a half marathon in NYC, even though I’d never run a race before. Surprisingly, I ended up running 9 races within 3 months, and then later ran the NYC Marathon in 2017. But it wasn’t easy—I injured my knee during training. I didn’t give up. I got physical therapy and changed my training routine until it worked.
Running the NYC Marathon taught me one of the most valuable life lessons: enjoy the journey, not just the finish line. Instead of obsessing over my race time, I focused on enjoying the process. This mindset helped me finish the marathon without getting hurt and reminded me that the journey is just as important as the destination.
I witnessed how small, consistent actions can lead to significant change.

With this experience, I discovered firsthand how the power of habits can shape our lives. From committing to my daily training runs to embracing recovery routines, I witnessed how small, consistent actions can lead to significant change. This ignited my passion for helping others harness the potential of habits, eventually inspiring the creation of YouHabits.
