Choose Your Tiny Habit

Daily 7x

Chart Your Course: Track, Celebrate, and Adjust

Staying the course requires awareness. Monitor your progress, celebrate even the smallest victories, and be prepared to adjust your plan as your needs and abilities evolve. Aging is a journey, not a destination.

Daily Reflection and Tracking

Daily

Take 5 minutes each day to record your progress and any challenges you encountered. Did you complete your tiny habit? What felt easy? What was difficult? Use a journal, checklist, or tracking app.

Monthly Reassessment: Tweak and Thrive

Monthly

Every four weeks, conduct a thorough review of your plan. What's working? What needs adjustment? Don't be afraid to modify your goals or habits to better suit your current circumstances. Growth is a process of continuous refinement.
