One thing I started doing lately is telling myself that "1 minute it's better than 0 minutes", whenever I feel like i dont want to do something (workout, study...) because the hardest step is always to start doing something. So i'll tell myself '1 minute studying it's better than 0 minutes stdying' so I start studying for that minute and then it just usually flows

As opposed to labeling my lists as "To Do" I simply reframe it as a "I Get To Do" list. How fortunate are we do even have the ability to do mundane tasks, things for our family, to have a place of income, etc. We get to do it because we've been so blessed. ☺

Micro-habits I have incorporated: 1) Doing some minutes of stretching after my morning shower. 2) My workspace for hours everyday is the kitchen, so I feel more joy if I regularly declutter the countertop and maybe put a rose in a vase on the windowsill and listen to classical music. 3) Not only "stop and smell the roses" but try to find the good under all the stress. For example, when my son makes a mess in the kitchen I can feel proud that he has the ambition to cook something, or when my three teenage kids quarrel and make noise I am thankful that I have three lively kids and a loving family than can get us through difficult times. Or even if I have a headache I know that it will pass and that I have a healthy body that supports me day after day.

I love the tip about reframing 'sorry' into 'thank you.' I feel being overly apologetic can be a bad thing - you're essentially giving out the message to others that you're in the wrong, even if you might not be. But saying thank you is a great way to show appreciation to others whilst not diminishing your own confidence.

My Micro Habit that got me out of depression and changed my suicidal thoughts back to optimistic ones is doing an exercise with my favorite crystals. I store them in a beautiful box and take one in my hand and think about one positive thing of the day or about a moment or person in my Life I'm thankful for. Then I continue with every Crystal in the Box, and set an Intention for all of them. It helps to reprogram your broken mind back into a positive mindset and shows you that Life has so much things and moments worth living for. When I started I could only count three things, my Mom, my Cat Friend and the Sun. After two years now, my Mind comes up with an infinite amount of positive memories, thought, people, places, moments... Try it out, it changed my life and saved me. Love to all of you and remember to love thy neighbor as thyself, cause we are one.

The shift from "I'm sorry" to "thank you" has been amazing for me, both in regards to self worth and to not annoying those around me. I came from an abusive family and that was such an ingrained habit of mine that, at first, I couldn't get through a sentence without using the phrase at least once. I felt as though I should apologize for even existing, despite being a kind and helpful person. Small changes really can make a world of difference, given enough time.

The quote of Dale Carnegie and your sentence "No more waiting for tomorrow when the day is already here" really hit me. I'm going thorugh a tough time and this year has been the worst so far, so I really needed to hear this. It's about the small regular actions I take to get back my life and improve it little by little. This helped me so much eating healthier or working out on a regular basis. Your videos always are so warm and encouraging without ever making one feel bad for not (completely) being vegan or how or who we are. You have such a calming voice, it's so comfortable to listen and the videos always are so aesthetically beatiful to watch. Thank you ❤

Mom has heart disease and kidney failure. I recently went through ovarian cancer and am trying to find a way to bring peace to my mind since I had to take care of everyone even though I was sick. Your video was and is very timely for me. I needed the reminder to take care of me. I need to make the space to quiet my mind and be peaceful for my health both mental and physical. I still have a journey ahead of me to try and keep the cancer at bay. I appreciate all your videos and the calming way in which you present them.

I just recently started doing these small habits to help build motivation and to tell myself..."I get things done!" I spend 5 minutes cleaning my office in the morning and again in the evening. I was telling myself I had no time to clean....LOL....Now I look around the room and see things changing. Things are changing a little at a time. Today for 5 minutes I trimmed away the dead vines covering the window. It's so cool. I can take 5 minutes to clean my office. :) This was a great video. Oh, I changed the statement...If this isn't the life, I don't know what is...to If this isn't the good life, I don't know what is."

There are two mindset shifts I’ve made that have really helped me: The first is something similar to what you were talking about early in the video. I prioritize only one thing on my “to do list” each day, and I call it my “top thing.” It can be the same each day, or different, but my “top thing” is always framed as one thing that tomorrow’s me will thank today’s me for having done. A little pay it forward to myself that also allows me to have grace with myself. If my day goes completely sideways, I only have the my “top thing” as a “must do,” and it’s something that will help make tomorrow better, so it’s a win-win in my book. The second thing is rather than thinking of having a “to do list,” I’ve shifted my mindset to thinking of it as a “get to do list.” This subtle shift builds gratitude into my daily tasks and chores. I get to make the bed each morning because I have a bed to sleep in each night. I get to wash the dishes because we cooked and ate yummy food. I get to do laundry because of all the life lived and activities done since the last load of laundry. Both of these micro-habits have really been wonderful changes for my mental health. Thanks for all you do, Sadia and team! ❤

The idea of reframing apologies into gratitude is honestly mind blowind for me. Such an elegant, yet simple way to invite both receptivity and gratitude into those little moments happening in our lives all the time! As for my micro habits 1. Do something useful, that doesn't make much sense - If I can spend a few minutes fixing some random issue I encounter I would just do it. I would clean the cup of the co-worker, put the papers where they belong or even pick some litter from the grass and put it into the bin. There is almost a meditative feeling to those moments, I feel like it forces me out of the rush of everyday life. 2. Narrating what I feel - when I feel overwhelmed by emotions I would just try to explain to myself what I feel and what caused it. It's a simple way to reframe your emotions but it works amazingly for me. 3. Trying new things as soon as the idea arrives - I would try to not judge every activity by it's perceived value and just try something out and see how it feels. I tend to overthink stuff a lot and become lost in analysis paralysis, so it helps a bit do try something before I rationalize myself out of the idea. So far the effects were absolutely amazing.

Ooh what a great topic. I've been trying to form healthy habits too. Two that I absolutely love are: 1. Slow mornings. No matter what slow down the morning routine. Blissfully have a cup of tea. Take your time making breakfast or work/school lunches. Just slow and blissful morning routine. We don't have to have rushed mornings. This is also good for overall well being because whatever tone you set for your morning is the tone you carry through your day. So double benefit here 2. Slow evenings. Cutting off strictly at close of business and having a nice, slow, blissful evening of relaxing activities. Absolutely life changing. Thank you. One thing that you mentioned was slow reactions. This is an amazing healthy habit. I wonder if you have tips for slowing our reactions in those moments that require quick responses... Where you are required to respond on the spot. These moments usually lead to stress

I agree with avoiding unnecessary “sorries” - they can make the other person feel very awkward and on the spot to have to reassure you. Also agree that the best response to a compliment is “thank you.” My suggestion is to add a compliment for the other person, as in “thank you, you are so kind.”

I was always told in retail to never say sorry, but to say thank you for waiting and it has stuck with me through life. It makes people feel involved in the actions that led up to the waiting and even if it might not be the result they wanted, the sorry is mostly always seen as a negative.

I am a dancer. I was always wondering why I felt so stressed when getting ready to do something I loved. Then I reminded myself that stress/anxiety and excitement share many of the same symptoms (racing heard, shortness of breath etc). That awareness allowed me to switch my perspective from negative to positive when feeling those physical reactions.

I want to thank YOU for sharing your valuable time with me. I'm sorry you've had a tough year. There have been two distinct moments in my life where I remember feeling the same - the loss of someone I cherished deeply, life challenges, and confusion much like you described. Even though they felt overwhelming at the time, those periods turned out to be the most transformative and growth-filled for me. They shifted the course of my life, ultimately and eventually in positive ways (which I only see now looking back). My sister often says, "Pivoting in life is painful. Growth is painful. But that pain is a sign of growth." Keep embracing your journey with this beautiful strength and openness. Sending all my love 💖🌟🌱

My favorite "moodsaver" microhabit is: whenever Im not alone, I focus on other people. My mode is not "how I feel", but how I can be beneficial for the society Im part of in the moment just right now. It can be one person or big group, doesnt matter. This can help also in unpleasant or stressful situations, cause it gives me better insight into the situation and Im not so cought up in my own emotions. That way I can be supportive for others and solve the situation better. Than I also feel great. Its also a win-win approach. When the situation is "normal", I like to focus on issues and feelings of other people, on how everybody is different, how loving and lovable some people are etc. Its quite liberating, not to focus only on myself all the time.

LOVE this! Bookmarked for watching again and again. I've been feeling that sense of "Well if this isn't nice, then idk what is" so often lately - so pleased to have a phrase to attach to it! I've also been hovering on the dark side of the inaction/action spectrum, so that Carnegie quote may be just what I need to move forward into action. My favorite micro habit (though not so much a mindset shift) is keeping my home clean and tidy. I absolutely adore relaxing in my home when it's clean and tidy; it makes me feel so comfortable and confident. Hard to fathom that you ever need to feel more self-confident (because you seem like one of the coolest and most "together" people on the planet), but it just goes to show we're all human. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability - and insightful perspective - with us, Sadia.

Making micro changes is, in my case, the best way to start something at all - I've always had the mindset that it has to work the first time, because if it doesn't... I won't start at all for fear of failure. That's how I started, for example, with my morning 10-minute yoga and getting up at 4:35 a.m. What started out as "I don't want to, how it all hurts, why do you need it" turned into a pleasant morning stretch and an attempt to get my thoughts together. It doesn't always work that way, but being quite sick for the last week, suddenly I just missed it. And I'm at a point in my life where I don't know what to do with myself and it's tiny changes like this that keep me from going completely mad.

Found you recently through the haircutting video. Love youe channel and can't wait to explore your content more❤ One microhabit I have recently implemented is allowing myself to get 'bored'. I feel like constantly looking at our phones and the dopamine hits are really impactful on the mind. So sometimes when I'm commuting in the bus or train I do nothing else. No music no book, absolutely nothing. I just look outside and allow my mind to occupy itself. Initially I used to get very restless but recently I've started enjoying it. Its a great way to decompress for me!

This is one micro habit that I do as often as I can (not everyday): I did this course on coursera called the science of well being. One habit that was recommended by the instructor there was to make a practice of gratitude and she said that the people who include it as a part of their daily routines see a difference and only when you have a dedicated place to write your gratitude in- sorta everyday- you stick with it- along those lines. I did this course a long time ago. I was talking to a friend who says that he finds writing in a journal too much time taking, but he sorta speaks it out in his head and he thinks that they will have the same effect. So, I have combined these two techniques- gratefulness, but I say it out in proper sentences in my head instead of writing it.

Ah, its content like these, and your energy- is why this channel still has a special place in my heart. Microhabits: 1.Start your day with a smile- the biggest you can manage. You Know why? You dont get to do that enough already. 2. The groundhog day. There are a few elements in my day, that are essential even if its done 10%, instead of 100%. That has been my version of 'no zero days'

I used to constantly blame myself for everything, including not being accepted and loved by others. I would tell myself that I was the problem, that I was the bad one, and that was why these things were happening to me. Now, I don't blame myself unless I've made a truly unforgivable mistake. Even for small errors, like messing up a recipe while cooking, I forgive myself. I remind myself that it's okay and that I simply wasn't focused this time-I’ll do better next time. When I don't do well on a study quiz, I acknowledge that it's okay because I just learned the material recently and need more time to grasp it. However, being kind to myself isn't an excuse to slack off or do things poorly. I forgive myself with a promise to be more careful and to improve. Moreover, when I accomplish something good-like succeeding in a recipe, getting a perfect score on a quiz, or completing a workout-I thank myself and feel proud. I tell myself things like, "You're extraordinary, unique, and excellent in your studies. How can you imitate the chef's recipe so well that it seems like you are the chef?" Going easy on myself and celebrating my achievements fosters a sense of self-appreciation. I love myself and know that I am doing my best. Blaming myself will only make things worse.

Micro habits are awesome. I, for long, ran behind ‘the big shift’ I want to make in life, neglecting the small habits I know brings value to my days. I had numerous zero-days and I promise this is the last one, I’ve decided to writing a one line recap of my days. Be it in sentence, words or phrases, this has helped me better sense ‘time’ and not feel as if rushing behind the next big shift I can make. This is partly attributable to the ‘How-to’ culture nurtured by the self-help genre & click-baits. I promise starting small is the key step. I could take things slow & deliberate and witness improvement. When you plan big and fail to follow through, you fail big. But once you embrace micro habits, there is scope for iterations and progress and calm. You never fail, each day is a win. Each ‘failure’ is a lesson teaching us that not everything can be perfect.

I find that if i'm feeing a bit overwhelmed and sensing that rising anxiety, doing some deep diaphragm breathing (so when you breathe in your tummy should stick out!) really helps. It actually slows the heart rate so, when appropriate, it can be used to great effect. Also in that moment i try to remember that life is a bit of a game and to not lose my capacity to be childlike and have fun...don't take myself and everything else so seriously :)

I added a microhabit to deal with my tendency to ruminate on negative experiences I have daily with a supervisor that bullies me. Every time someone says something nice or does something nice for me I make a little smiley face or a heart in my notebook next to other things I'm doing. It feels like a secret code but also when I look at them I remember those small things that kind people did, and it makes me feel happy and loved while diminishing the sting of those negative interactions from that other person. I've tried a lot of things, and this is the whole thing that has helped me shift my perspective to focus primarily on the positive. It's really helped with my anxiety and depression. Even on days when I start out thinking there is no way anything good is going to happen, it does and this reminder challenges my thinking and assumption. I hope it can help other people if they try this!

Little upgrades I have successfully integrated since watching your channel: I added seeds to my peanut butter and spread it on toast for a better breakfast when running late. I also eat one Brazil nut every day to support my thyroid, thinking of it like a vitamin. Finally, I. began replacing butter with olive oil in little amounts. My goal is 2 tablespoons a day. These micro changes have produced measurable results for me over the past two months. 👍👍👍

In the summer my schedule was freed up for me to have more me time and I spent that time by going to the gym, nearly every day. I sometimes felt tired, but since I knew it was a short season where I would have that room, I went to a couple different classes that I enjoyed without any excuses. I am now so grateful to myself that I did that because as I knew would happen, come fall everything shifted. My schedule of life filled up again and I was no longer able to be at the gym every day. Having the mindset of gratitude in the summer was the right choice and helped me to acknowledge then move on from my disappointment and missing some of that time in the fall - knowing that life comes in seasons. I am grateful for the season I am in now and all of it's challenges too.

About that appreciation for simple nice moments in life: I tried doing gratitude lists for the first time years ago. It's quite simple: at the end of the day, write three nice things that happened today. At first it might be complicated, but try to write at least one. You'll find no instant results, but if you keep doing it over and over again, you'll notice how you'll end up being able to write lots of nice things every day AND actually notice them while they are happening. Then you can say "if this is not nice/life, I don't know what it is" or just appreciate beauty and kindness around you every day. Studies are showed that gratitude is linked with happiness and in my experience this simple no-more-than-one-minute habit has helped so much with my mental health ❤

This is similar to your first one about apologizing, but switching from "Sorry for the delay" or whatever I'm saying in an email, I will say "Thank you for your patience"/etc. It gives the signal that I appreciate the other person and they were helping me by giving some space to respond. Making that shift in my exchanges with people has been super positive, and makes writing messages way less draining.

I have developed, adapted or stolen many life hacks over the years. One of my favourites is something I call One of Three. I generally have three disciplines I'm practicing on an ongoing basis. Usually it is meditation, writing, and walking. Ultimately I want to do all three every day, but sometimes my rebel child takes over. So to give myself optimum wiggle room the deal I've made is that I don’t go to bed without one of them being done. I've passed this hack on to many of my therapy clients. I love the neuroscience behind micro tasks. First ran i to it years ago from a book called The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer. Thanks for this post! As a fellow Canadian I'm implementing the thank you hack immediately!
