The Big Ideas
Want to understand WHY we do any and everything? Well, BJ Fogg in his book Tiny Habits tells us that we need to understand this simple formula: B = MAP. Behavior is a function of our Motivation + Ability + Prompt. A behavior happens when the three elements of MAP—Motivation, Ability, and Prompt—come together at the same moment. Motivation is your desire to do the behavior. Ability is your capacity to do the behavior. And prompt is your cue to do the behavior.
If you feel so inspired, take a moment to run one of YOUR Behaviors through that model. We can play chemist with our lives and start to create or delete habits by using the MAP formula - either increasing the variables to make the habit stick or decreasing/removing parts of them to break the habit. Expert Tip: Usually messing around with the Prompt is the most powerful. Always test Motivation last as it is the most unreliable.
From an evolutionary understanding, human beings always seek pleasure in everything we do. A simple hack to hardwire your habit is to either:
Make it pleasurable,
Find a similar alternative that excites you.
P.S. A trick to help with this is going back to your childhood to see what you used to enjoy most.
Keystone habits are such that they produce something of a ripple effect – in which one little positive change has the potential to produce other positive changes in all different parts of someone’s life.
Hack your brain further by making habits you want to install in your life as tiny as ridiculously possible (almost too simple to fail). And celebrate each time you do that habit! Run the tiny habit through B=MAP to make sure it works and will stick. Then, create a floor and a ceiling to your new daily tiny habit.
Start today your tiny habits and celebrate them TODAY. If you miss one day - make your missed tiny habit the most important #1 thing you do the next day!
