3 Tiny Habits
---
Before we get into the tiny note for today, I need to caution you that Wednesday seems to be tough on new habits. Stay on your game tomorrow.
Also, if you don't like your Tiny Habit, then change it to something better. I hope you will to learn how to adapt your tiny behavior and the sequencing. That's part of the process.

Now, let's go to Optimizing Your "Victory" Moments . . .
For some people, it's hard to remember the victory celebration after doing a new behavior.
My advice: Please focus on feeling victorious.
Why? Because the ability to self-reinforce is key to rapid habit formation.

With Tiny Habits, there are two moments when should declare victory. After you do the behavior is one of those moments. You already know that.
But here's something I've not yet told you: You should also declare victory the moment you remember to do your Tiny Habit. For example, you get up from the dinner table and remember to read one sentence <-- At that moment you should conjure up feelings of awesomeness.

What works best for you? "Victory!" Or "Awesome!" Or "I am good at this!" Or something else?
Explore the options to find what creates the most reward for you. Here's one way: Say different options to yourself, in your head or aloud. After saying each option, pause to feel what happens inside.
