Stay flexible and adjust as needed from "summary" of Tiny Habits by B. J. Fogg
When it comes to creating habits, it's important to remember that life is unpredictable. Things don't always go as planned, and that's okay. In fact, it's more than okay - it's perfectly normal. That's why it's crucial to stay flexible and be willing to adjust your habits as needed. Flexibility is key when it comes to habit formation. If you're too rigid in your approach, you're setting yourself up for failure. Life is full of unexpected twists and turns, and if you're not willing to adapt, you'll find yourself constantly struggling to keep up. By staying flexible, you can navigate these challenges with ease. If something isn't working, don't be afraid to make changes. Maybe you need to adjust the timing of your habit, or perhaps you need to modify the behavior itself. Whatever the case may be, being open to change is essential for long-term success. Adjusting your habits as needed doesn't mean giving up or admitting defeat. On the contrary, it shows that you're committed to your goals and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them. It's a sign of strength, not weakness. So, as you work on building new habits, remember to stay flexible and open-minded. Embrace the unexpected, and be willing to make changes as needed. In doing so, you'll set yourself up for success and create habits that stick for the long haul.
