The phrase “incremental change” might not be familiar to you, but I guarantee that the effects of it are.
Simply put - incremental changes are small shifts over a long period of time.
If you think about the Grand Canyon, you can very easily see the effects of incremental change over a period of thousands and thousands of years.

Often, the reason we have such a hard time making changes in our lives is that we just don’t know where to begin. The whole process seems so daunting and overwhelming.

While big changes tend to get real old real fast (like changing from a diet full of processed foods over to something Keto or Paleo), micro-changes (like adding a vegetable to every meal) never feel hard at all. The simplicity of incremental change carries momentum all on it’s own.

The big changes are sometimes so sweeping that they can actually hurt. Imagine throwing out every piece of unhealthy food in your kitchen. Then imagine standing there trying to figure out what to eat.

Those great big changes are only going to wear you out. It’s like going for a full-fledged workout when you typically rarely leave the couch. Your body certainly isn’t ready for that kind of work, and the whole process (finding workout clothes and equipment, going to the gym, knowing what machine to use and how long, and for how many reps) can be pretty daunting.

Great big goals can feel a million miles away and easily leave you discouraged.
Micro-habits set smaller goals that are achieved in tiny increments. This means you get to your destination a lot faster, leaving you with a feeling of accomplishment. That feeling helps keep you motivated as you continue to work towards change. Creating micro-habits is a self-sustaining cycle of change and momentum.

So what are you waiting for? There’s no time like the present for getting started on the road to the new you. These changes are so small and easy, you will wonder why you didn’t get started earlier!  In the following pages you’re going to find a list of tiny habits in various areas:

Because health is the number one thing that people want to change in their lives, we’ll begin there.
According to the American Medical Association, as many as 40% of individuals being described as being overweight, and 2/3 of those individuals have tried some kind of weight loss / health regimen in the last year.

63% of Americans are in debt of some kind, and 14.5% of Americans are living below the poverty line. Those kinds of numbers make it very clear that there’s a lot of people who aren’t happy with their financial status and would like to make some serious changes when it comes to cash flow.

Our relationships within our families can be especially tricky.
Most people, when asked, would tell you that they don’t feel like they spend enough time with their families. What’s worse is that even when they do have that time to spend, they feel distant and disconnected.

According to Gallup Polls, 85% of people hate their jobs. …Yikes!
Given how much time you spend each week working, this is a serious problem. A dislike of your job or a workplace that’s unpleasant can lead to high-stress levels which in turn impact your health negatively.

Your social life is just as important as the other topics here.
Having real relationships with people you can count on is an integral part of a happy life.

Who knew that such tiny habits could have such a big impact on every aspect of your life?
By embracing incremental change, you’ll find that you are making progress on your desired changes, almost without effort!
