“When you start small, you build success that grows.” – BJ Fogg
In our busy lives, big changes can feel overwhelming. Many people think they need massive willpower to create better habits. But Dr. BJ Fogg, a Stanford behavior scientist, discovered something powerful: lasting change happens through tiny, simple steps.
Tiny Habits is more than a productivity trick. It’s a life-shifting method that allows you to make changes effortlessly, even when life feels heavy.
What Are Tiny Habits?
Tiny Habits is a system for creating positive behaviors by starting small. Instead of relying on willpower or motivation, you anchor new habits to something you already do.
For example:
- After I brush my teeth, I will floss one tooth.
- After I pour my morning coffee, I will take three deep breaths.
Sounds elementary? I thought so too, at first. Then learned quickly it needs to be. These small wins create momentum. As your brain experiences success, your habits grow naturally without stress.
Where It Came From
BJ Fogg developed the Tiny Habits method through years of research at Stanford University. His work focuses on how human behavior truly changes.
He found that people fail at creating habits not because they lack discipline, but because they try to start too big. Tiny Habits flips this by using emotions and celebration to wire habits into the brain.
How It Works
The key steps are:
- Anchor – Link your new habit to an existing one.
- Tiny Action – Make it so small you can’t fail.
- Celebrate – Reinforce it by feeling good in the moment.
Celebration is essential. Your brain learns faster when you associate success with positive emotion. Over time, these micro-changes compound into meaningful transformation.
Why I Recommend Tiny Habits in Healing
As a practitioner of The Emotion Code and The Body Code, I see how trapped emotions and imbalances can make change harder. When your body is weighed down by old emotional energy, even small steps feel exhausting.
By releasing these trapped emotions, your mind and body become lighter. This makes it easier to embrace positive habits, including those from BJ Fogg’s method.
Your Next Step Toward a Lighter, Brighter Life
If you want to change your habits but feel stuck, you don’t have to do it alone. Combining Tiny Habits with energy healing tools like The Emotion Code and The Body Code can create lasting transformation from the inside out.
