The principle of small steps
The principle of small steps is an approach to change based on taking small, repeatable actions rather than waiting for the perfect big breakthrough.
Otwórz →Habits
Breaking the pattern
Breaking a pattern is consciously interrupting an established way of thinking or acting and introducing a different response.
Otwórz →Strengthening
Reinforcement is the process of increasing the likelihood of a behavior through the consequences that follow it.
Otwórz →Behavior patterns
Behavior patterns are repetitive ways of reacting, choosing, and acting in specific situations.
Otwórz →Conditioning
Conditioning is the learning process in which stimuli, responses, and consequences form associations that influence behavior.
Otwórz →Fixation
Consolidation is the process of strengthening a memory trace, habit, skill or pattern through repetition, meaning and feedback.
Otwórz →Reward arrangement
The reward system is a brain network associated with motivation, reinforcement learning, reward expectation, and behavioral selection.
Otwórz →Routine
Routine is a repeatable system of actions that organizes behavior and reduces the decision-making costs of everyday life.
Otwórz →Habit loop
A habit loop is a repetitive system of stimulus, response and consequence that perpetuates automatic behavior.
Otwórz →Small steps method
The small steps method involves dividing the change into small actions that can be realistically implemented despite resistance.
Otwórz →Consequence
Consistency is repeated action in accordance with the chosen direction despite changing emotions, conditions and short-term obstacles.
Otwórz →The energy of habit
Habit energetics is a practical measure of the cost of attention, effort, and motivation needed to initiate and maintain a behavior.
Otwórz →The habit cycle
A habit cycle is a repetitive sequence of stimulus, response, and reinforcement that perpetuates automatic behavior.
Otwórz →Triggers
Triggers are signals that trigger a specific emotional, cognitive, or behavioral response.
Otwórz →Automatisms
Automatisms are established reactions, habits or patterns triggered by the context without a full conscious decision.
