Summary: <p>Step 1. Make Your Habit Tiny</p><br> <p>These are the smallest behaviors that matter. A tiny habit has to be:</p><br> <ol> <li>A behavior you do at least once a day.</li> <br> <li>Takes you less than 30 seconds to do.</li> <br> <li>Requires little effort.</li> <br> <li>Is relevant to the full behavior.</li> <br> </ol><p>If you don’t make your behavior tiny, to begin with, you will almost certainly fail to create a new daily habit.</p><br> <p>For example, if you start out running one hour each day, you won’t create a habit of exercise.</p><br> <p>But if you commit to putting on your running shoes, you are, as Leo Babauta would comment, “making it so easy, you can’t say no”. [4]</p><br> <p>Later – perhaps months later – you can expand on your habit. But when you do, the larger behaviour will be easier. Why? Because the more you do something, the easier it becomes.</p><br> <p>Consider all of your existing habits. They are all easy to do because you’ve practiced them for thousands of hours. Soon, your new habit will be no different.</p><br> <p>Step 2. Do Your Tiny Habit Immediately after an Existing Behaviour</p><br> <p>The next step is to identify an existing habit. This is going to be the cue that triggers your new behavior.</p><br> <p>Ask yourself: “What behavior do I always do, regardless of how I feel?”</p><br> <p>This can include waking up, showering, going to the bathroom and brushing your teeth, to name a few.</p><br> <p>You need to know what your tiny behavior comes “after”. For example: “After I brush my teeth, I’m going to floss one tooth”.</p><br> <p>Step 3. Celebrate Small Wins</p><br> <p>The final step is to celebrate doing your new habit. You may find this approach weird, but it works, because the ability to self-reinforce good behavibehaviore key to rapid habit formation.</p><br> <p>You can speed up the process of habit formation by experiencing positive emotions about your tiny habit the moment you <em>remember</em> to do your tiny habit sequence and <em>after</em> you do it.</p><br> <p>When I build a new habit, I physically rehearse the sequence a few times, each time declaring victory. This gets your brain wired to remember it.</p><br> <p>For example, my newest tiny habit is doing two press-ups after I’ve meditated. I sit down to meditate (cue), then I get in the position to do a push-up (routine) and finally, I celebrate my tiny success by patting myself on the back (reward). I repeat this sequence a few times until I’ve got it down pat.</p><br> <p>There are multiple ways you can celebrate tiny successes. You can do a physical movement like a thumbs up. Say a word or phrase like “Awesome!” internally or out loud. Or move your face to look happy like smiling in the mirror. Whatever you do, make it personal to you.</p><br> <h2>Conclusion</h2><br> <p>Every day, just do your tiny behaviour immediately after the existing behaviour you’ve chosen and remember to celebrate. Here, your brain and body is learning a sequence. “After I X, I do Y and I feel Z”. For example, “After I meditate, I do two push-ups and I feel awesome!”</p><br> <p>Note, that in this step, you are learning to put a new behaviour into your routine. You are <em>not</em> learning the behaviour itself.</p><br> <p>Let me explain. Suppose you want to floss daily. You already know how to do it. But what you don’t know is how to do it <em>regularly</em>. You haven’t mastered putting flossing into your routine as an automatic action – yet. But tiny habits will help you do that.</p><br> <p>The more you train this new routine, the more the new behaviour will automatise and become the new normal.</p><br> <p>Learn how to implement tiny habits in your daily routine and soon, others will marvel at the apparent ease you became a master yourself—a master of habit.</p><br> <p> </p><br> <p>Sponsored by: </p><br> <p><a href="https://www.alphacreditpros.com">https://www.alphacreditpros.com</a></p><br> <p><a></a></p>
