Start small
🍀🪐🪧 10 Habit-Building Lessons
from "Mini Habits" by Stephen Guise
1. Start Ridiculously Small: Aim for habits so tiny they feel impossible to fail, like doing one push-up.
2. Focus on Consistency, Not Size: Small actions done daily are more effective than big efforts done occasionally.
3. Lower the Bar to Get Started: Make it easy to begin by removing unnecessary barriers to action.
4. Celebrate Small Wins: Recognize every step forward to reinforce the habit and boost motivation.
5. Avoid Relying on Motivation: Use mini habits to bypass the need for willpower or inspiration.
6. Track Your Progress: Record your daily wins to create momentum and hold yourself accountable.
7. Expand Naturally Over Time: Mini habits often grow into bigger actions as they become part of your routine.
8. Focus on Actions, Not Outcomes: Success is completing the habit, not achieving a specific result immediately.
9. Pair Habits with Existing Routines: Anchor mini habits to established behaviors to make them stick.
10. Build Long-Term Momentum: Over time, small habits compound into significant, lasting change.
