In addition to practicing how to be 1 percent better each day, you can make a list of all the things you want to improve that will help you get closer to your goals. Choose one for the day and make one tiny positive change. It can be super helpful to write down your goals and values. To bolster your motivation and ensure consistency, it’s beneficial to create daily rituals. For example:

•Morning ritual.

•Evening ritual.

“Care for your own lantern so that others may benefit from its light.” —Zen saying

Devise a goal check-in when things get tough in your efforts to create and form a new habit, or when you wander off your path. This is a great little exercise to do when you are faced with potential failure or decision-making. Before making any decisions that feel impulsive, give yourself a moment to reflect. Sometimes the urge to do something will fade. Ask yourself: What do I want right now? What do I ultimately want? Am I willing to sacrifice my values and goals for what I want right now? Could I wait a little while? See the Resources section at the back of the book for a great reading list on habit building and motivation.
