When you do small habits consistently, they grow naturally.

Decide who you want to be, then prove it to yourself with tiny wins. Every action is a vote for becoming the person you want to be.

The key is momentum. You have to have a tiny habit before it can become a big one. Success leads to success. But what is surprising is the size of the success doesn't matter.

If you set out to read for 5 minutes per day and do it for a whole week you’re going to feel more motivation. It’s building self-efficacy and momentum that matter.

Aim for small and quick to create the sense of hope and confidence that sustain behavior change.
