New Year, New You, right?
What if starting a new habit is as easy as A.B.C.?
Author BJ Fogg (@bjfogg) gives us this acronym on the science of habit installation.
I learned this from a Heroic Philosopher’s Note on BJ Fogg’s book, Tiny Habits.
Here's how it works:
ANCHOR the new habit to something you already do.
Make the BEHAVIOR tiny. Even if it seems like the tiniest behavior wouldn’t make a difference to the result you’re looking for, it is important to remember that you’re paving neural pathways in your brain that will Consistency is the key. Make it easy to win so you can...
CELEBRATE!
The power is in proving to yourself that you are the kind of person who does the thing consistently.
“When you are designing a new habit, you are really designing for consistency. And for that result, you’ll find that simplicity is the key. Or as I like to teach my students: Simplicity changes behavior.”
