We activate brain cells.

Those brain cells that fire together start to wire together.

And so now we can add more time, more intensity, more complexity while we develop a new habit of thinking positively, while we develop a new habit of seeing ourselves achieve our goal.

Now we can accelerate what we do because we now have a new habit of doing, let's say, something empowering.

And at first, we want to reduce it to the ridiculously small.

Make it effort hyphen less.

Make it stress less.

Make it thinking less, right?

And when we do that, we start to create a new pattern.

I often say that first we build the simple habit, then the habit will build us.

So how do we develop a habit?

You want to start flossing your teeth?

Floss one tooth today.

Floss one tooth tomorrow.

Just one tooth, boom, put it down.

Less than three seconds.

Every day, take out your flossing string.

Just leave it by your toothbrush.

Before or after you brush your teeth, preferably before, floss one tooth.

Just commit to doing it for 30 days.
