Very interesting article. I can understand what they are saying. I believe stress levels also have an impact on 'executive function' and decision making. I know from my own experience..especially right now, that my high stress level is making it hard for me to make the simplest decisions....and so I end up doing none of what I wanted to.
Thank goodness that No S has become such a Habit, or I'm sure I would be in trouble when it comes to my eating and exercise.

Creating and sustaining the No S habits are the only thing that will take me in the direction I want to go!
