I started looking closer at my habit of winding the day down with a sweet.
Basically the author suggested that you fix a habit by replacing it with another one. The problem with picking a new habit, is that it has to become something you crave and really desire. I was kind of hoping for more suggestions but since it was general book about habits, I had to come up with ideas on my own.
When I was younger, my mom and I were reading a book where the character made herself some warm milk with honey. We decided to try it and found it pretty tasty. I decided to change it up a bit and make my own version.
Warm Milky
Ingredients:
1 cup milk
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp flavored syrup (I used Torani Hazelnut)
Splash of vanilla
Pour milk and honey into a mug. Microwave on high until desired temperature. (I put mine in for a minute and a half.) Add your syrup and vanilla. Let it cool a tad, while you soak in the warmth on the your fingertips. Enjoy!
Thus far, this has been a lovely end to my day. The milk is not only tasty, but warm, comforting, and relaxing. It has the honey in it, which is a more natural sweetener and it is also full of vitamins, so I don't feel too guilty about my little indulgence. It's a great way to wind down.

When I was a kid I read a book about warm milk and gave it a try. However I didn't add anything to it and put it in the microwave for too long.
I still drank the curdled milk before bed, but did not find it as comforting as the character in the book.
Hahaha! Yes, I could see that being not quite right. Perhaps you should give it another try...with a little less curdling. :)
