A powerful and practical lesson from Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg:
🌱 Behavior Change Starts Small
Lesson:
If you want lasting change, make the habit so small that it feels almost too easy to fail.
BJ Fogg explains that success in habit-building doesn’t come from motivation or willpower. Instead, it comes from starting tiny—actions that require very little effort but are done consistently. For example, instead of committing to 30 minutes of exercise, start with one push-up. Instead of reading a chapter, read one page.
Why this works:
. Tiny habits remove resistance
. Consistency builds identity
. Small wins rewire your brain for success
Once a habit becomes automatic, it naturally grows bigger over time. The key is not intensity, but repetition.
📌 Fogg’s Formula:
Behavior = Motivation × Ability × Prompt
When ability is high (habit is easy), you don’t need high motivation.
