Forget big change, start with a tiny habit: BJ Fogg at TEDxFremont 

Could the new habit come before as well as after and work as well ?

Jordan Jamison LOL, good stuff :D

Ha ha. You are using Ted Talks to procrastinate.

Good things there's so many Ted talks then.

And that's how you turn a G grade into an F!

LOL!!! Love it!

So how long is your beard now ? Lol

this is great, i shave every week . so i will choose some daily trigger :)

How is this only having 53 likes? This is an amazing result.

Great job man! Keep on going! WOE-oeh!

Thanks for the reminder to FOCUS on identifying, practicing, and rewarding the small (TEENY TINY!) steps!

This is a key point in David Allens GTD :)

Good for you! How does meditation improve your Life?

meditate short time many times. - yongey mingyur rinpoche - are you still doing it? keep up the good work!

I started doing that, as well, recently. Wow, what a difference! I am so much more productive and it helps my depression and low energy.

Meditating right after you wake up doesn’t give you the full affect because your body reverts back to when you are sleeping. It’s better to finish your morning hygienic routine then once you’re awake go and meditate

Great job!! WOE-oeeeeeh!!!

muwahiddah what happens when the ideas run contrary to what you are taught as a muslim? do you hate or dismiss them? do you question them? do you question your faith?

guachingman Hello! I can't speak for muwahiddah but I am Muslim as well and saw your comment so I thought I would answer your questions from another Muslim. It depends on the topic if we hate or dismiss it. I wouldn't question my faith if an idea was contrary to it because as a Muslim I believe that God is the most wise and knows what is better for me, more than a person would. I hope this answers your questions! :)

guachingman To answer your question, anything but the last one. This is Al-Maidah 5:101-102 (Koran) "O you who have believed, do not ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you. But if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be shown to you. Allah has pardoned that which is past; and Allah is Forgiving and Forbearing. A people asked such [questions] before you; then they became thereby disbelievers" Here, Allah, clearly orders Muslims not to ask about things which may lead them to become disbelievers. What's meant by 'things' here is basically anything which Muhammad could not come up with a compelling answer for. For example, he was once asked about the spirit and was perplexed by the question, so he did what he ususally does best in such embarrassing situations, he made 'Allah' answer that. And of course Muslims would stupidly argue that Muhammad was not making Allah up and that he was only a messenger of Allah, in fact, they would even claim Muhammad was an illiterate or 'ummi' (Arabic). Anyway, after asking them for a 3-day period to seek for an answer, Muhammad could not come up with one. Then this is what Allah's answer came like: "And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the spirit. Say, the spirit is of the affair of my Lord. And mankind have not been given of knowledge except a little." Al-Isra 17:85 I hope this answers your questions. To any Muslim reading this, please do not expect a reply from my side to any responses you might post here. I simply do not debate with religious people (especially Muslims) simply because 'faith' means belief without evidence, and Muslims are too scared and brainwashed to ask or doubt their religion, or think independently. So let's not waste my time and yours. I hope you all go to the heaven you created in your midiocre minds and leave the world to the brave ones and the open-minded.

sadly what we think about religious people is confirmed here...why would one even bother to watch such videos if the door of questioning is closed beforehand...what is there to gain if they already have all the answers precooked for them.

Shala Avans: _"...as a Muslim I believe that God is the most wise and knows what is better for me, more than a person would."_ This sets up people for getting manipulated.

Doodling with Strangers good for you! 😀

I am hearing your voice. As you try to cope with life, I hope you can translate your negative habits into more positive habits to overcome your suffering. Life can be so unfair, and poverty happens all around us in this world. If you think of each day as a new day; then, you may allow yourself to experience life in a totally new way. If you experience your day from a whole new perspective, you may be able to overcome the thoughts that may be leading you to suicide. Think of each day as a whole new day, so that you can extend your life. You will find more reasons to live. You can define all of the days that are coming to you as totally new days that can bring to you new experiences and new lessons. Think of each day as a new day and a new birth for you. Yes, think of each day as a rebirth, so that you may grow your desire to overcome the suicidal thoughts. This world can offer you new experiences that you have never had in your whole life, if you just see the world in a new way each and every day. Sometimes, your days can look and can feel the same. However, if you look at your days from a closer point of view, you will realize that your days in your life are never all the same days. Each day has its own twists and turns. Each day can teach you new lessons in life. So, life can feel new from one hour to the next hour. Life can feel new from one moment to next moment. You can have a rebirth. In this way, you almost have a kind of spiritual experience to help you cope with your suffering and your poverty. Life is always new. I hope you learn to cope with this life, so that you do not end it.

BJ Fogg wrote a book about tiny habits where he also mentioned untangle bad habits. Swapping a habit is one way to do it.

That's probably true for typical people. It is not necessarily true for those of us who struggle with the habits of daily living. About the only things I do reliably every day: pee at some point, drink and/or eat something at some point. There are days I do not sleep, days I do not get dressed. There used to be days I did not communicate with anyone. I will have to think about how I could make these tiny habits work for me, since I am also stubborn.

@@JaniceLHz I'd guess that between putting food and/or drink in your mouth and peeing would give you at least 3 opportunities to create a tiny habit (after you eat, after you drink, after you pee). What blew me away when I put this into practice was how celebrations changed the way my brain works. I had a particular toxic thought (bitterness towards a person who did a very bad thing to me) vaporize. I wasn't even working on that issue. But that person's name came up and that's when I realized the toxic thoughts weren't there any more. It wasn't that they diminished. They were gone. The only thing that I changed was celebrating. I loved it so much I celebrated anything and everything I could find. If I couldn't find something, then I looked around for something ridiculously easy to do so I could do a fist bump up in the air and say "yes!!". I tried just celebrating for no reason and that was just okay. My brain was too smart. It wanted a tangible reason to celebrate. It could be a small tangible reason and that works. It still works! In other words, I could celebrate any positive action even if it wasn't a habit. My husband caught it and now we're constantly playing, celebrating, getting Alexa to give each other attaboys etc. This has been going on for nearly a year. We literally are not the same people. I'm encouraging you to perhaps not concern yourself with a particular habit. But every time you eat, look for one positive thing to do (put the fork in the dishwasher for example) and then celebrate. The celebrations done at the same time of the actions are at least brain changing - if not life changing. The habits can come later if you wish.

@@marycavanaugh3930 Mary That's a delightful report. Thank you so much.

+Chi-Hsuan Yu (Eva Yu) After I watch a good video, I will leave a like.

Yup, same

Same:) After I finish a video, I will leave a comment.

Wow! You are really engaging with the content of this talk!

You're hot.

I don't want to discourage you but sometimes it is quality over quantity. If someone is capable of doing 30-50 consecutive push ups he or she should think about making the exercise harder (adding weight, one arm, handstand, balancing on physioballs,...). Just making an exercise that you've pretty much mastered over and over again won't get you far.

@@nameless5646 I was about to say something similar. Instead of 250 push-ups 50 reps of five different small exercises would be much more fruitful in terms of strength and long-term fitness.

Good on you, Paul. Awesome! You took - tiny action, and are reaping the results!

WOE-oeeeeeh!!! That's a lot!

That's the spirit!

You're Awesome!

Agree!!!!

i agree with you

good Summary

Your Movie analogy was though provoking. Thanks

Inspiring!

If you get tired of 20 pushups you need to do more pushups (or do it every day until it becomes easy ;)

😂

good one...only do 7 then don't do too much

Wow, this is a brilliant idea!! I've been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning and everytime my alarm goes off, I hit the snooze without even opening my eyes. But this is brilliant, I hope it will finally force me to wake up earlier every day :)

Maybe you need to go to bed a little earlier every night, so you don't need the extra sleep in the morning.

after my alarm goes off, I look at my phone immediately with high brightness. I read the news, check Facebook or read emails for 15 minutes. I then open the curtains and wake up.

Fantastic Times: I will try that! Thanks for the tip! I think I'll do Words With Friends every morning :-)

Good luck! :D

Awesome! 👍

Accomplish the small things and celebrate it as if it is the big thing you’ve always wanted to do and it’ll grow
