Choices about how we spend our time, how we live our lives, and most important, how we treat ourselves and others. “The quality of our life on planet earth depends on the choices we make every day. ![]() Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything A real reward - something that will actually create a habit - is a much narrower target to hit than most people think. But your coworker might not like the way coffee smells. And her immediate feeling builds her habit of visiting the coffee shop. When she enters a coffee shop and inhales, she feels good. What causes one person to feel good may not work for everyone. The neurochemical reaction that you are trying to hack is not only time dependent, it’s also highly individualized.
