B = MAP
Today we look at the A in our behaviour change equation which is ABILITY. This is the letter that we have most control over and that we can manipulate to best suit our lifestyle. So how do we do that? Simplicity. We have to keep our tiny habits SIMPLE! When they are simple, we are more likely to adhere to them on a regular basis, especially during those lower motivation times when we don't FEEL like doing anything. When we're thinking ability, we want to make our tiny habit so tiny that we don't need much motivation to complete it at all. As you reflect on your tiny habits ask yourself: "What is making this behaviour I'm trying to achieve hard?" as well as "How can I make this behaviour easier?". Adjusting our tiny behaviours becomes like an art. The key is to follow Goldilocks' example in tweaking each of our habits until we get them to fit "just right". That's when we will be able to be most consistent and that's when we will see the most results!
