It worked sometimes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI tried setting audacious big goals. I almost always failed them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI tried to make changes last. They didn't.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eLike most people who try to change and fail, I assumed that I was the problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen one afternoon--after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise--I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This stupid idea wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eI had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as the way to change in countless books and blogs.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMy suspicions were correct. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs There A Scientific Explanation For This?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science--which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits--we've been doing it all wrong. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as getting motivated, New Year's Resolutions, or even just doing it. In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost popular strategies don't work well because they require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do--that you can achieve lasting change. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's A Mini Habit?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day; its too small to fail nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. You will have no choice but to believe in yourself when you're always moving forward. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe barrier to the first step is so low that even depressed or stuck people can find early success and begin to reverse their lives right away. And if you think one push-up a day is too small to matter, I've got one heck of a story for you  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAim For The First Step\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey say when you aim for the moon, you'll land among the stars. Well, that doesn't make sense, as the moon is closer than the stars. I digress. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe message is that you should aim very high and even if you fall short, you'll still get somewhere. I've found the opposite to be true in regards to productivity and healthy behaviors. When you aim for the moon, you won't do anything because it's too far away. But when you aim for the step in front of you, you might keep going and reach the moon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI've used the Mini Habits strategy to get into the best shape of my life, read 10x more books, and write 4x as many words. It started from requiring one push-up from myself every day. How ridiculous is that? Not so ridiculous when you consider the science of the brain, habits, and willpower. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mini Habits system works because it's how our brains are designed to change.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote: \u003c\/b\u003e This book isn't for eliminating bad habits (some principles could be useful for breaking habits). Mini Habits is a strategy to create permanent healthy habits in: exercise, writing, reading, thinking positively, meditating, drinking water, eating healthy foods, etc. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLasting change won't happen until you take that first step into a strategy that works. Give Mini Habits a try.
