3 Tiny Habits

You already know how to do many full behaviors (floss *all* your teeth, exercise for a full 30 minutes, and so on).

What most people haven't mastered is making these desired behaviors automatic. So that's a key focus in 3 Tiny Habits: training automaticity. Once that's rock solid, you can then work toward the full behavior (floss all your teeth - victory!) without losing the automaticity. That's how you eventually master the full behavior as a habit. This focus and sequencing is what makes 3 Tiny Habits different from any other approach.

For now, please stick with the simple, tiny behaviors in your practice. If you do a bigger behavior and it's a pain in any way, the habit will won't form. In fact, I believe you take a step backward.

My advice: Be sure your Tiny Habits are truly tiny. You should scale back now, if needed. Please be patient, stay tiny, and experience for yourself how this process works.
