When planning to change your life for the better, do not try to embrace the immensity. Do not set yourself global goals - you will create an extra reason for stress and, most likely, fail. This is because our brains are programmed to resist significant change, because stability is the key to survival. Steven Guyse came up with a completely working mechanism for creating and reinforcing the so-called mini-habits, which will undoubtedly change your life for the better. He suggests breaking down the task into small steps that will be easy and simple to incorporate into your usual daily routine without "spooking" your brain. If you want to do 100 push-ups a day, start with one. If you are going to learn to think positively more often - remember something good at least a couple of times a day. Over time, minor changes will turn into the habit you need, and you will believe in your own strength.
