Struggling to Build Habits That Stick? 12 Powerful Micro Habits (That Actually Work)
Start Today, Thrive Tomorrow
How Small Actions Create Big Changes
Healthy habits don’t just happen—they’re built through consistent, intentional effort. Whether it’s making your bed or setting a daily routine, the small, repetitive actions you take every day shape your future.
The good news? You’re already setting micro-goals without even realizing it. From opening your eyes in the morning to grabbing your phone, your brain processes these micro-actions every day. The key is to harness this natural process to build habits that serve you, not sabotage you.
“Healthy habits are learned in the same way as unhealthy ones-through practice.”
What Are Micro-Goals?
Micro-goals are the small, often subconscious steps your brain sets to complete a task. Think about it:
You wake up.
Your brain tells your arm to grab your phone.
You pick it up, and the action is completed.
This same principle applies to forming healthy habits. Each habit is simply a series of micro-goals repeated until they become second nature.
“Habits are just repetitions of micro-goals.”
The Science of Habit Building
Did you know it takes roughly 61 days to develop a new habit? During that time, your brain literally rewires itself, strengthening the neural pathways associated with the action. The more you repeat the habit, the easier it becomes.
Pro Tip: Start small. Pick one habit and focus on it daily. Consistency is more important than intensity when you’re building new habits. Try this free mini course I created just for this exact scenario.
