Long story short, I decided to do just one push-up, and ended up doing a full workout. I hadn't exercised in a while, though, so my motivation was drowned by guilt and I couldn't force myself to take action either. Relying on motivation, I had managed to upgrade my arms to more of a linguini size, but that was over a period of several years, and I wished I could and would do more.Įverything changed for me one day in 2012 I wanted to exercise.
Now I know that a strategy which succeeds sometimes is the most dangerous kind, because it deceives us to think we're at fault when it fails. And being strong seemed better than having my arms mistaken for spaghetti: "Hey Stephen, you've got a piece of.oh.OH.no, never mind."īut I always thought I had to get motivated to exercise- a belief reinforced by my sporadic success with it. I'd been wanting to build muscle ever since I heard that women like muscles. Please take a quick look at my results using mini habits: While I wrote this book-and authors generally like the books they write-I'm giving it five stars because the Mini Habits strategy has changed my life permanently. When you start playing by your brain's rules-as mini habits show you how to do-lasting change isn't so hard. You can achieve great things without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies such as "getting motivated," resolutions, or even "just doing it.” To make changes last, you need to stop fighting against your brain. People so often think that they are the reason they can't achieve lasting change but the problem isn't with them-it's with their strategy. Mini Habits will better equip you to change your life than 99% of the people you see walking around on this globe. The science in Mini Habits exposes the predictably inconsistent results of most popular personal growth strategies, and reveals why mini habits are consistent.Ī mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day a mini habit's "too small to fail" nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. When something works, that which doesn't work is exposed. When I accidentally started my first mini habit-and the changes I made were actually lasting-I realized the prior strategies I relied on were complete failures. I had experimented with personal development strategies for a decade.
