So, what can we do to make micro-habits play a greater role and help our lives more meaningfully?
Stephen Gass mentioned the following methods in his book Micro Habits:
First of all, choose the micro-habit that suits you and stick to it.
What suits you is the best.
If it is particularly important for you to form good habits, please take out a pen and paper and write down the habits you must form now.
These habits are habits that you like, are useful to you, and can make your life and work better.
Parents can try to praise their children once a day. Men can try to do a push-up every day. Old people can try to walk for 5 minutes every day. Students can remember one word every day.
It's those little incredible micro-habits that make you different step by step.
Second, record and digitize your progress in time.
If you want to stick to good habits, you must constantly record your successful experience and constantly give positive feedback to strengthen this record.
You can record with a pen, or use some software to help us record the data.
For example, reading, exercise and meditation all have related software to record action data.
From small to large, when the data accumulates to a certain amount, individuals will not give up so easily after being stimulated by the data.
Simply put, you listen to books 1 minute every day, 365 minutes a year, and you don't eat or drink 24 hours a day. You listen to books more than others 15 days.
The gap has thus widened.
Third, always reward yourself.
As long as you complete a micro-habit, reward yourself severely and praise yourself well.
When you are tired and sleepy, jump 1 minute, or squat down. These are habits.
Then tell yourself: Wow, I'm getting better again.
You can also buy yourself some gifts and rewards, or show them publicly to gain recognition from the outside world.
Constantly giving yourself positive feedback will make micro-habits more motivated.
Whether we are dominated by habits or habits, the right is entirely in ourselves.
People are born with the ability to achieve their goals.
From small to incredible actions, establish a micro habit for yourself and make a little progress every day.
Over time, every progress you make is a shining you.
