The weird thing about daily streak habits (I dunno what they're actually called)

But you know, those habits where you try to beat your record?
Like XYZ days without drinking,
Or XYZ days of meditating everyday, or working out everyday etc....


It's like, the longer you do it, the more momentum you get because you're afraid of starting over,

But if you break your streak, especially after a long long time of keeping it, and especially if you enjoyed the moment you broke that streak,

The harder it is to start again because you know that starting again will deprive you of it for such a long time,
So you keep putting it off till tomorrow because you want just one last time.

How do you escape this trap?

By using that streak as progress to be proud of and not setting breaking your record as a goal? I don't know how to do that though.
