Small Wins Build Habits

Learn how small actions lead to big changes

"A journey of 1,000 miles starts with a single step." — Ancient Chinese Proverb

Building good habits can feel overwhelming, especially when the goal seems massive. It's easy to get discouraged when progress feels slow. However, research shows that small wins—tiny actions that move you forward—are the key to long-term success.

How Small Wins Build Lasting Habits

Here are some examples of how breaking a major habit down into a small win can lead to long-term success:
