Mini-habits too Small to Fail
If you haven’t heard of mini-habits, you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Imagine making only small adjustments, and still managing to create impactful and meaningful change.
The mini-habit is just what it sounds like – it’s taking the idea that doing a whole lot of small things will eventually add up to something superb. Think, for example, of what would happen if you only read a couple of news articles every day? Before you know it, you’d have accomplished the goal of becoming more informed, and would be better able to handle discussions with co-workers about the state of your industry given the current environment.
Change and Success
Mini-habits don’t stop there though. Not only can your mini-habit change how you get your work done, but they impact your mind and body as well.
Read on to discover 4 powerful benefits of Mini-habits.
Mini-Habits Lead to Big Results
1.You create an atmosphere of success
By setting small goals, you’re much more likely to meet them. So instead of telling yourself that you’re going to return all your phone calls promptly, you instead focus on returning the next phone call on time. That takes off the huge expectations that always felt so overwhelming in the past and left you with a feeling of failure when you couldn’t quite make it. What’s even better is that meeting these small goals means you get to where you start expecting success, which leads to the mindset that will generate that success you’re expecting.
2. You change how you view your capabilities
By accomplishing mini-goals, you start to realize that you do have the ability and power to accomplish work results. Your confidence grows, and you gain a better, more positive sense of your abilities.
3. You rediscover motivation
Motivation is sometimes hard to come by and gets used up quickly. That’s why mini-habits are important. Rather they don’t rely on motivation to accomplish projects, they grow from your willpower instead. Then as you reach those goals, you start to feel the energy of that success, which in turn creates motivation to keep going.
4. You create a series of changes that you will carry with you through your career and life
Mini-habits done daily will build up those larger habits that you’ve been trying to build all along. Like making it to work on time every day and creating almost as a by-product that habit of daily productivity that had seemed so difficult not all that long ago.
Final Thought
Mini-Habits not only change how you do work assignments but change how you think and act. By making a practice of following mini-habits, you will affect some pretty major change.
