The author Steven Guise was once a complacent person he’s unwilling to change despite having certain aspirations. Having tried for ten years, he was unable to develop exercising as a regular habit. Nonetheless, within two years, he eventually managed to obtain his dream figure, produce four times the number of essays, and read ten times as much than before. He was able to successfully go through drastic transformations. How was he able to do that? The turning point was in 2012. In December, he started doing one push up a day, read one page a day, and wrote at least 50 words a day.

How can doing one push up, reading one page, and writing 50 words a day bring about such significant impacts? Guise tells us that during the development of habits, getting motivated by the heat of the moment is not reliable. There are many challenges that test our willpower. The solution to the problem is to make yourself feel at ease, free of mental pressure and start from mini habits. You will find that developing good habits does not take much effort.
