Create Micro Habits to Maintain and Grow Resilience

Creating micro habits involves breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable actions that can be easily integrated into your daily routine.

Here are some tips for establishing micro habits effectively:

Start Small

Choose tiny actions that are easy to accomplish and require minimal effort.

For example, instead of committing to a 30-minute workout every day, start with a micro habit of doing ten push-ups or stretching for a minute.

Be Consistent

Focus on repetition and consistency to solidify your micro habits. Set a specific time and place for each habit to increase the likelihood of success.

For instance, if you want to drink more water, make it a micro habit to have a glass of water right after waking up each morning.

Stack Habits

Pair your micro habits with existing routines to make them easier to remember and incorporate into your day.

For example, if you want to read more, make it a habit to read one page of a book right before brushing your teeth at night.

By focusing on small, incremental changes, you can gradually build habits that contribute to positive long-term outcomes and lead to lasting behavioural change.
