Modification of My Daily Rituals is my interpretation of Stephen Guise’s book, Mini Habits, which discusses a more effective way of adhering to positive changes made in life. Mini habits are very small routines, usually derived from a larger routine that is difficult to maintain regularly. The book, mini Habits, gives rationale for going smaller, such as doing one sit up daily, as opposed to doing far more in one day. Is willpower better than motivation? Mini Habits also discusses the tools needed for maintaining a newly added, extremely small daily habits.

Sam Davies, the author of the book, Unhooked: How to Break Bad Habits, agrees with Stephen Guise’s, mini habits and he suggests that consumers should invest in this book and promises that the return would be far greater (Davies, 2015). I felt the same after reading the book. Davies pointed out that the typical problem for forming habits was consistency, which is the reason for creating smaller habits, to make your daily routine easier and simple in order to decrease the amount of willpower it takes to carry them out without feeling pressured.

Adapting mini habits has, without a doubt, changed my life. Before reading Mini Habits, by Stephen
Guise, I was one of those people who struggled with the continuity of running and walking on a track, which is about 1.5 miles from my home, which I would drive to 4 days a week. I would walk 1 mile, then jog 1 mile.
During that time, I was highly motivated and I had loss weight. I was 30 pounds lighter than I m now. Then at some point, I lost the motivation, the drive, and the willpower to drive to the park, much less, run or walk.
Once, I actually drove to the park, sat in my vehicle for approximately 10 minutes, then drove home. I lost my desire to exercise, which had been working for me very well. That has been over 10 months ago. I had been struggling until now. The information from the book, Mini Habits, has changed my life and I am in this for the
