When it comes to change, "tiny is mighty"

Changing behaviors can feel like a monumental task. The most common is the pressure we put in ourselves to GO BIG or nothing. Not surprisingly, big expectations are often unrealistic, a recipe for disappointment and self-criticism.

B.J.Fogg defends we should think small because tiny behaviors that can become strong habits. And, when it comes to change, tiny is mighty. So, start with two pushups a day, not a two-hour workout. Take 5 deep breaths each morning rather than 1 hour of meditation.  Make it easy, make it fit to your life, and make it rewarding.
