Absolutely Focused Radio bonus episode, The Power of Tiny Habits

2
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:14.919
in the Silence where the Shadow stream I gather strength.

3
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.640
Welcome back to Absolutely Focused Radio. I'm your host, Anna

4
00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:21.960
Harrigo and we have a special bonus episode for you today.

5
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.960
Joining us are Bu and Jane Marie from the Sobriety Crew,

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.679
and they're here to share some incredible insights about how

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.119
small changes create massive transformations. Before we dive in, remember

8
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:38.240
every Friday at twelve am, a brand new episode drops

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.039
on all podcast platforms, so make sure you're subscribed so

10
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.280
you never miss out. Now let's get into it with

11
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:46.840
Bu and Jane Marie.

12
00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:50.159
You know what blows my mind. Scientists have discovered that

13
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.880
tiny daily habits can literally rewire our brains more effectively

14
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:58.079
than massive life overhauls. It's completely changing how we think

15
00:00:58.119 --> 00:00:59.439
about personal transformation.

16
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.200
That's fascinating, especially since we're always hearing about these dramatic

17
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.519
one hundred and eighty degree life changes. How exactly does

18
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:08.920
this rewiring process work?

19
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.000
Well, think about it like creating a path through fresh snow.

20
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:16.879
The first time you walk it, you're trudging through deep drifts,

21
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.280
but with each pass that path becomes more defined, more automatic.

22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:25.040
That's exactly what's happening in our neural pathways with these small,

23
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.359
consistent actions.

24
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.920
So you're telling me these tiny changes actually have a

25
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.599
measurable impact on our brain structure precisely.

26
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.840
And here's where it gets really interesting. Research from MIT

27
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:41.480
has shown that these microhabits can increase neural density in

28
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.480
specific brain regions by up to thirty percent in just

29
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.599
sixty days. It's like building a super highway for positive behaviors.

30
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.079
That really helps explain why some of my clients struggle

31
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.959
when trying to make huge changes all at once. They're

32
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.239
essentially fighting against their brains established neural architecture.

33
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.920
You know what's even more or fascinating. I've been studying

34
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.159
recovery programs, and the most successful ones don't focus on

35
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.080
the big milestone moments. Instead, they break everything down into

36
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:10.840
these tiny, manageable victories.

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.319
Oh, tell me more about that. What kind of small

38
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.520
wins are we talking about?

39
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.280
So? Get this one program I looked at starts with

40
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.599
something as simple as drinking a glass of water first

41
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:26.319
thing in the morning, just that one action. But here's

42
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.800
the brilliant part. It becomes this anchor point for other

43
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:32.639
positive changes throughout the day that.

44
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.560
Reminds me of something I read about habit stacking, where

45
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.759
you build new habits by connecting them to existing ones.

46
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:42.719
Exactly right. And what's really cool is how this applies

47
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.800
across different areas of life. Take financial habits, for example,

48
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.080
Studies show that people who track their spending for just

49
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.080
five minutes a day are eighty four percent more likely

50
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:54.479
to reach their financial goals.

51
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.599
Those numbers are incredible, and it makes so much sense

52
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.280
when you think about how overwhelming big goals can feel.

53
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.639
Before we wrap up, Jane and I want to leave

54
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.400
you with some powerful affirmations to carry into your week.

55
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.680
I am capable of making small positive changes every single day.

56
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.120
My tiny actions today are building the foundation for my

57
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:17.240
best tomorrow.

58
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:22.039
I celebrate every small victory knowing that progress is progress,

59
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.039
no matter the size.

60
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.000
I trust the process, and I honor my journey one

61
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:27.840
step at a time.

62
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:30.759
And now for our Friday does and.

63
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:35.759
Don'ts, do start with just one micro habit this week.

64
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.800
Pick something so small that feels almost too easy.

65
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:42.240
Don't a beat yourself up if you miss a day.

66
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:48.439
Progress isn't about perfection, It's about consistency over time filtering.

67
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:53.800
Do track your tiny winds, write them down, celebrate them

68
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:55.199
and watch how they compound.

69
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.439
Don't mind compare your beginning to someone else's. Middle journey

70
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.520
is uniquely yours.

71
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:06.159
Do remember that every expert was once a beginner, and

72
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.000
every transformation started with a single small choice. Stay awesome

73
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:10.639
and be you.

74
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:13.520
Thank you so much to be you and Jane Marie

75
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:17.720

76
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:21.800
every Friday at twelve am, a new episode drops on

78
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.759
you love to listen. Stay awesome, stay focused, and keep

79
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:51.560
making those tiny changes that lead to big transformations. Ed

80
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:56.639
Guys said on this Fadi Frail too long a play

81
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:58.560
the silent shallow game.

82
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:06.279
Hashtags can't define my point of view, but here's my journey.

83
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.639
It's time to break through.

84
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:14.279
His ability. I'm learning to embrace.

85
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:17.199
In this vulnerability.

86
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.240
I find my place.

87
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.519
No more hiding.

88
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.279
I'm rising from the ground.

89
00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:32.000
Every spised story, let me shall myself in the shadows

90
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.399
of silence of fotnight.

91
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.000
Now I'm shining bright.

92
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:39.279
Step down into the light
