Download or read book Mini Habits written by Stephen Guise and published by Selective Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2013-12-22 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover the Life-Changing Strategy of This Worldwide Bestseller in 17 Languages! Lasting Change For Early Quitters, Burnouts, The Unmotivated, And Everyone Else Too When I decided to start exercising consistently 10 years ago, this is what actually happened: I tried "getting motivated." It worked sometimes.I tried setting audacious big goals. I almost always failed them.I tried to make changes last. They didn't. Like most people who try to change and fail, I assumed that I was the problem. Then one afternoon--after another failed attempt to get motivated to exercise--I (accidentally) started my first mini habit. I initially committed to do one push-up, and it turned into a full workout. I was shocked. This "stupid idea" wasn't supposed to work. I was shocked again when my success with this strategy continued for months (and to this day). I had to consider that maybe I wasn't the problem in those 10 years of mediocre results. Maybe it was my prior strategies that were ineffective, despite being oft-repeated as "the way to change" in countless books and blogs. My suspicions were correct. Is There A Scientific Explanation For This? As I sought understanding, I found a plethora of scientific studies that had answers, with nobody to interpret them correctly. Based on the science--which you'll find peppered throughout Mini Habits--we've been doing it all wrong. You can succeed without the guilt, intimidation, and repeated failure associated with such strategies as "getting motivated," New Year's Resolutions, or even "just doing it." In fact, you need to stop using those strategies if they aren't giving you great results. Most popular strategies don't work well because they require you to fight against your subconscious brain (a fight not easily won). It's only when you start playing by your brain's rules and taking your human limitations seriously--as mini habits show you how to do--that you can achieve lasting change. What's A Mini Habit? A mini habit is a very small positive behavior that you force yourself to do every day; its "too small to fail" nature makes it weightless, deceptively powerful, and a superior habit-building strategy. You will have no choice but to believe in yourself when you're always moving forward. The barrier to the first step is so low that even depressed or "stuck" people can find early success and begin to reverse their lives right away. And if you think one push-up a day is too small to matter, I've got one heck of a story for you! Aim For The First Step They say when you aim for the moon, you'll land among the stars. Well, that doesn't make sense, as the moon is closer than the stars. I digress. The message is that you should aim very high and even if you fall short, you'll still get somewhere. I've found the opposite to be true in regards to productivity and healthy behaviors. When you aim for the moon, you won't do anything because it's too far away. But when you aim for the step in front of you, you might keep going and reach the moon. I've used the Mini Habits strategy to get into the best shape of my life, read 10x more books, and write 4x as many words. It started from requiring one push-up from myself every day. How ridiculous is that? Not so ridiculous when you consider the science of the brain, habits, and willpower. The Mini Habits system works because it's how our brains are designed to change. Note: This book isn't for eliminating bad habits (some principles could be useful for breaking habits). Mini Habits is a strategy to create permanent healthy habits in: exercise, writing, reading, thinking positively, meditating, drinking water, eating healthy foods, etc. Lasting change won't happen until you take that first step into a strategy that works. Give Mini Habits a try. You won't look back.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little changes can make a big, big difference! In The Little Book of Big Change, psychologist Amy Johnson shows you how to rewire your brain and overcome your bad habits—once and for all. No matter what your bad habit is, you have the power to change it. Drawing on a powerful combination of neuroscience and spirituality, this book will show you that you are not your habits. Rather, your habits and addictions are the result of simple brain wiring that is easily reversed. By learning to stop bad habits at the source, you will take charge of your habits and addictions for good. Anything done repeatedly has the potential to form neural circuitry in the brain. In this light, habits and addictions are impersonal brain wiring problems that result from taking your habitual thinking as truth, and acting on that thinking in the form of doing your habit—over and over. This book offers a number of small changes you can make in your everyday life that will help you stop your bad habit in its tracks. If you want to understand the science behind your habit, make the decision to end it, and commit to real, lasting change, this book will help you to finally take charge of your life—once and for all.

Download or read book Small Move Big Change written by Caroline L. Arnold and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The most useful guide to getting things done since Getting Things Done." --Adam Grant, author of Give and Take Learn how small behavioral changes can lead to major personal and professional self-improvement Whether trying to lose weight, save money, get organized, or advance on the job, we’re always setting goals and making resolutions, but rarely following through on them. According to longtime Wall Street technology strategist Caroline Arnold, the “big push” strategy of the New Year’s resolution is designed to fail, because it broadly pits our limited willpower stores against an autopilot of entrenched behaviors and attitudes that is far more powerful. To change ourselves permanently, we need to focus our self-control on precise behavioral targets and overwhelm them. Small Move, Big Change is Arnold’s guide to turning broad personal goals into meaningful and discrete behavioral changes that lead to permanent improvement. Providing scores of engaging real-world examples and new scientific findings, she shows us that while the traditional resolution promises rewards on a distant “someday,” microresolutions work because they reward us today by instantly altering our routines and, ultimately, ourselves.

Download or read book Mini Habits for Weight Loss written by Stephen Guise and published by Selective Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2016-11-27 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The brain resists dramatic behavioral shifts. Recognizing this and developing a strategy around it made the original Mini Habits the #1 selling self-help book in a number of countries. In Mini Habits for Weight Loss, you’ll discover that we also biologically resist such changes, which explains why most dieters and smoothie-cleanse aficionados lose weight in the short term, only to gain it all back (and more). Mini Habits for Weight Loss will show you how to make dietary changes in a sustainable, permanent way that doesn’t trigger biological or neurological resistance. It’s an advanced version of the method that made the original book a hit in 14 languages. The mini habits remain easy to implement, but the reasoning and supporting strategies are more sophisticated. This is by necessity, as weight loss factors are many and varied. All the suggestions in the book are rooted in extensive biological and neuroscience research.

Download or read book Elastic Habits written by Stephen Guise and published by Selective Entertainment LLC. This book was released on 2019-11-20 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Habits That Bend Don't Break Why do so many sincere attempts to build good habits fail? We try our best to be consistent, but some days are better than others. Inevitably, we fail when "life happens," because each day we try to hit the same targets regardless of the situation. How, then, can we make our habits more resilient to the turbulence of life? By making them elastic.Most people associate "elastic" with yoga pants and rubber bands. But the word also means "resilient" - the ability to withstand pressure. Elastic materials are far more durable than rigid and brittle ones, which will shatter under the slightest pressure. The same is true for habits.Traditional habits are unchanging: the same behavior is done at the same time to the same level every day. They work well until the pressures of modern life break their rigid and brittle shell. Elastic habits are fluid: they can change their form and intensity to suit each unique day. They survive busy, tired, bad days. They thrive in better days. If you're tired of the repetitive and exhausting grind to develop good habits, it's time give your habits the refreshing superpower of elasticity. Read Elastic Habits now, and you'll soon discover the life-changing difference of good habits that adapt to your day.

Book excerpt: Small on-the-job changes you can make to identify your strengths, prevent burnout, and maintain your passion for being an educator Small Habits Create Big Change is a valuable collection of micro-habits—small, science-backed adjustments—that educators can use to reclaim their mental health and their love for their jobs. This book helps you identify your unique personality type, so you can find the hacks and tweaks that will actually work as you strive to manage stress and reignite your passion for working with students.

Best of all, psychologist Rebecca Branstetter gives you solutions that you can use while you work, so you don't have to sacrifice your already-scarce downtime. Large-scale approaches to preventing educator burnout often fail to consider an important fact—educators are individuals, and no one-size-fits-all solution will really fit everyone.

This unique book accounts for what makes you who you are, giving you options, ideas, and proven strategies that set you up for success. This way, you can manage stress, battle burnout, and get excited about your career once again.

Download or read book 19 Tiny Habits That Lead To Huge Results written by Nicolas Cole and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★ Based on Nicolas Cole's viral article with more than 1,000,000 views! ★ Big changes don't happen overnight. They happen day by day, little by little-until all of a sudden, you've arrived. Nicolas Cole, one of the most-read personal development writers on the internet with more than 100 million views on his work, reveals to readers why the secret to success isn't about finding a shortcut-but building tiny habits that compound along the way. Part actionable advice, part vivid storytelling, 19 Tiny Habits is a quick read. Reflecting on the 19 tiny habits that have led to huge results in his own life, Cole credits these small daily actions as being the foundational elements of his successes in his late teens and 20s: "When I was 17 years old, I was one of the highest-ranked World of Warcraft players in North America, as well as one of the first bloggers in the emerging eSports industry with a viral blog." "At 22 years old, I discovered I'd been undiagnosed with Celiac Disease for the first 18 years of my life. I turned to bodybuilding to start over, find a sense of confidence, and turn my newfound boring diet of rice, chicken, and vegetables into an unfair advantage-putting on 70 pounds of muscle and transforming from a skinny, socially awkward teenager into a shredded fitness model." "By 24, I had graduated college with a degree in fiction writing and decided I wanted to start taking my writing more seriously. In less than 2 years, I became one of the most-read writers on the internet, the #1 writer on Quora (a platform with more than 200 million users), and one of Inc Magazine's Top 10 contributing writers." "And by 28 years old, I had quit my 9-5 job as a copywriter and turned my love for writing into a ghostwriting business called Digital Press. In less than 18 months, Digital Press became a multi-million-dollar agency with 20+ full-time employees working with more than 300 different Silicon Valley investors, executives, NYT best-selling authors, Grammy-winning musicians, Olympic athletes, and more." In this book, readers will not only hear Cole's story first hand, but also learn for themselves: Habits for happiness Habits for success Habits to improve focus, discipline, persistence, and drive Habits to change yourself (for the better) Habits to redefine the way you see your life 19 Tiny Habits That Lead To Huge Results will change the way you think about your life journey. Process over destination, mastery over achievement, Cole has found a way to turn relentless goal-setting into a way to know yourself better as a human being-achieving your goals, while being deeply fulfilled in the process. Here's how.
