BJ Fogg's Tiny Habits: Small Steps to Big Changes
When it comes to creating a program that people put faith in and they fail, I get cranky.
Feeling overwhelmed by the idea of making life changes? BJ Fogg, a behavior change expert and founder of the Stanford Behavior Design Lab, has some refreshing insights that might just be what you need. In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Fogg about his book *Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything*. Fogg's approach is all about making change manageable by breaking it down into tiny, doable steps.
He believes that these small habits can snowball into significant transformations over time. As he puts it, 'When you make it super tiny, the thing that shifts dramatically is you don't need high levels of motivation to do something'. This episode dives into the Fogg Behavioral Model, which helps you understand the key factors behind why we do what we do: motivation, ability, and prompts. By tweaking these elements, you can design habits that are more likely to stick.
And don't forget to celebrate your wins, no matter how small! Fogg explains that celebrating helps rewire your brain to associate positive feelings with the new habit, making it more likely you'll keep it up. Whether you're aiming to start a new habit, break an old one, or just want to live a more fulfilling life, Fogg's practical strategies offer a hopeful and doable path forward.
