Victory!
With the Tiny Habits method, you create habits quickly by using a
technique called celebration.
Victory!
A Tiny List of Celebrations
• Say, “Yes!” while you do a fist pump • Do a subtle head nod
• Smile big • Do a double thumbs-up
• Hum a few seconds of a peppy song • Do the floss dance
• Raise your arms and say, “Victory!” • Put your palms together in gratitude
• Say, “Way to go!” • Hear celebratory trumpets in your head
• Tap your fist on your heart three times • Pretend you just nailed a half-court shot
• Fist-bump yourself and explode both fists • Sing, “Hey now, you’re a rock star.”
• Say, “Nice!” and nod your head • Imagine an audience applauding
• Inhale and think of energy entering you • Rub your hands together in glee
• Snap your fingers multiple times • Drum a happy beat on a wall or desk
Example:
Suppose you already start the coffeemaker each morning. More examples:
That’s your existing routine. Now ask yourself,
After I turn on the
“What new habit would naturally come coffeemaker, I will _______

text my mom.
Maybe the new habit you want is “feed my dog.” If so,
your Tiny Habit recipe would look like this:
pour a glass of water.
After I start the coffeemaker, I will feed my dog. put on my walking shoes.
If feeding the dog isn’t right for you, explore other new habits
that you want. Check out more examples here. > (insert your new habit here)
