Help yourself do what you already want to do from "summary" of Tiny Habits by B. J. Fogg
To create lasting change, focus on making the desired behavior easier to do. By helping yourself do what you already want to do, you can build habits that stick. Start by identifying the specific behavior you want to change and break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. This approach makes it easier to tackle and increases the likelihood of success.
One way to make the behavior easier is to anchor it to an existing routine or habit. By linking the new behavior to something you already do regularly, you can piggyback off of existing cues and triggers. This makes it more likely that you will follow through consistently. For example, if you want to start flossing your teeth regularly, you could link it to brushing your teeth in the morning.
Another strategy is to make the behavior more attractive by adding a positive element to it. This could be as simple as changing your mindset about the behavior or incorporating a small reward. By finding ways to make the behavior more appealing, you can increase your motivation to stick with it over time.
In addition to making the behavior easier and more attractive, it can also be helpful to celebrate your successes along the way. By acknowledging your progress and giving yourself positive reinforcement, you can strengthen the habit loop and make it more likely to become automatic. This positive feedback can help to solidify the behavior as a habit and increase the chances of long-term success.
By focusing on making the behavior easier to do and more attractive, you can help yourself do what you already want to do. This approach leverages your existing motivations and habits to create lasting change. Start small, celebrate your successes, and build momentum over time. With consistency and persistence, you can create habits that support your goals and lead to lasting transformation.
