In behavioural science we learn that tiny successes can change the way we act. This idea is called the 'small-step effect' - the notion that a series of easy, doable actions adds up to big change over time. It matters because our brain rewards even the smallest win, which keeps us motivated and makes new habits stick. Think of a habit you want to start, like a short walk. Instead of promising an hour, tell yourself you will move for just five minutes after lunch. When you finish, notice the sense of achievement and give yourself a quick pat on the back. Doing this each day builds a ripple of confidence. Over weeks the five-minute walks become a natural part of your routine, and you feel ready to add a little more.
