I noticed on my regular walks that my hat was playing a strategic part to my walks, especially on the more challenging walks.

Guise’s one push-up strategy that launched him into his research and his Mini Habitsbook and work had me focusing on breaking big goals down, asking, what’s the mini or tiny step I can take that helps create bigger and better results? And, where is this showing up in everyday life? It might be a great strategy but an event has caused a hiccup, a slight bump in the road. I know that hiccups can often lead to total stoppage, to giving up, to ‘why bother’, but remember it’s a hiccup in the strategy delivery not you. We think it’s something we’ve done wrong, that we are a failure or have failed. So often when an attempt to change a habit doesn’t work we kick ourselves but repeat the strategy. When I heard that again I felt relief and less judgemental of myself.
