Small efforts lead to success! 3 recommended books ① "Mini Habits"
① Mini Habits
A mini habit is a truly small, positive action that you decide to do every day and always carry out.
By using this method, you can turn anything into a habit, achieve your goals, make your dreams come true, and change your life.
After all, it is "too small to fail."
First of all, the cover illustration is great.
A magical design that makes you want to pick it up.
There were two points in this book that really struck a chord with me.
・Defining (a habit) as "an action so simple that you feel it's better to do it than not to" (p39)
・One of the advantages of habit formation is that it does not trigger strong emotions (p73)
Keep it small. Keep it humble.
I think the secret to continuing lies here.
For note, maybe aim for one post of 100 characters a day.
For reading, maybe read two pages a day.
For dieting, maybe pedal an exercise bike for the length of one anime episode a day.
Start with something so small and humble that you can do it right now.
When you are small and consistent, time becomes your ally.
Conversely,
Writing 4,000 characters a day!
Reading one book a day!
Or losing 3 kilograms in a month.
Demanding efficiency, cost-performance, or time-performance from the start is tough. The emotional burden is heavy.
Those with strong willpower might be able to achieve it stoically, but there is something called homeostasis, and when you lean too far in one direction, a force acts to bring you back to the middle.
I think this is why forcing a diet leads to a rebound later.
That is why the concept quoted from this book, "do not trigger strong emotions," which means doing things stress-free, is extremely important.
I am quite a lazy person, but continuing in a small, modest way suits my nature.
Stationary bike, jogging, climbing stairs.
I am dieting by modestly continuing these things.
I don't really like socializing.
But I want to talk to someone.
Thinking that, I started writing on Note almost every day as I pleased, and a year has passed.
From walking and jogging, I got carried away and started strength training too.
This is also modest.
Strength training is a 20-minute session once a week, done in a relaxed way.
When you continue easily, strength training feels good.
Plus, results gradually start to show.
This is interesting.
All of these are modest.
They are modest, but if you continue them every day, you change in a subtle way, and since changing is interesting, you want to continue even more.
It feels like watering flowers.
Let's water ourselves every day, too.
Continue here.
This is the year I'll lose weight, one step at a time.
And tone up my body, too. Effortlessly.
