Tiny Habits Can Change Everything with BJ Fogg – Ep. 275
Tiny Habits Can Change Everything with BJ Fogg
“If you’re lacking confidence, you won’t even try but if you build it then you will try new things and when you hit roadblocks, you will persist and get through them.” – BJ Fogg
Social science research associate at Stanford University, Founder & Director of the Behavior Design Lab, and Author of the book, Tiny Habits, BJ Fogg, speaks to Rob about why we should be focusing more on quick baby steps instead of big leaps to achieve successful behavior change.
Join us in this podcast episode as Rob and BJ Fogg discuss:
- How to use your own routine as a prompt for habit change.
- Why tiny habits actually create a high impact on the behavior changes we want to make and how to begin seeing it that way.
- His ABC’s in Tiny Habits and how to apply them to your life.
- Why we have to design tiny habits for ourselves at our lowest states of motivation; not at the highest states.
“Simplicity changes behavior.” – BJ Fogg
Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg Ph.D
Order BJ Fogg’s new book, Tiny Habits, and get his free habit-building toolkit today!
The world’s leading expert on habit formation shows how you can have a happier, healthier life: by starting small.
When it comes to change, TINY IS MIGHTY. Start with two pushups a day, not a two-hour workout; or five deep breaths each morning rather than an hour of meditation. In TINY HABITS, B.J. Fogg brings his experience of coaching more than 40,000 people to help you lose weight, de-stress, sleep better, or achieve any goal of your choice. You just need Fogg’s behavior formula: make it easy, make it fit your life, and make it rewarding. Whenever you get in your car, take one yoga breath. Smile. Whenever you get in bed, turn off your phone. Give yourself a high five.
Change can be easy—once it starts, it grows. Let B.J. Fogg show you exactly how.
