Understanding Habit
The insight map
The insight map turns your chosen insight into five explorable nodes: Deeper Current, Ground Truth, Small Step, Pattern, and Reflection. Learn how to read it.
The Deeper Current
The Deeper Current is the insight-map node that surfaces the deeper pattern beneath a check-in. Learn what it means and how it is generated.
The hero's journey
Joseph Campbell found a common story beneath the world's myths. Learn what the hero's journey is and how it connects to your check-ins in Habit.
Carl Jung
Carl Jung studied the hidden layers of the mind. Learn about the unconscious, the shadow, and individuation, and how they connect to Habit.
The reflection node
The reflection node is an optional space to jot down your own thoughts at the end of a check-in. It is private, never shared with AI, and yours to use however you want.
The small step
The small step is one tiny practice suggested at the end of a check-in. It is often somatic: a breath, a posture shift, or a small movement you can do right now.
