Using the tiny step method
from Lean With Plants · host Chelsea Mae Cullen
Making faster progress isn’t about stricter diets and more discipline, it’s about taking consistent action steps that move you closer to your goal.The problem is we get tired, bored, lose motivation or give up, or (insert excuse here) and progress stalls or goes out the window.This isn’t a flaw with YOU, it’s a human character trait that keeps us alive, we’re kinda designed to choose the path of least resistance to conserve energy and constantly innovate… BUT that’s not super helpful when we need to say no to oreos and YES to broccoli. 😭🥦The good news is instead of working against it, we can hack motivation by using tools like the next tiny step method to KEEP moving forward, even in our worst moments.In this episode I share exactly how to use the method to find your next tiny step, commit to when you’ll implement it, and use momentum to make your next actions easier and more likely. Yah!!This method was developed by Richard Ralston who is a mentor, friend, and amazing human, so check out more about him below 👇https://richardralston.com/A lot of these concepts were also inspired by James Clear and Greg Mckeown and you can find the links to their books below👇Essentialism - Greg Mckeownhttps://www.amazon.com/Essentialism-Disciplined-Pursuit-Greg-McKeown/dp/0804137382Atomic Habits - James Clearhttps://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsWe use this method in our Progress PODS in Lean with Plants and it’s helped our members see phenomenal results.
