In this is tiny leaves,

we look at something I call a tether habit.

Get excited because this is tiny leaves.

Big changes. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps. Big changes where I share simple strategies you can use to get more out of your life.

My name is Greg Clunice and you've probably already heard from me or pretty much any other personal development creator out there that willpower is a ridiculously

unreliable resource when it comes to creating behavior change.

You've also probably heard all about how habits are far more reliable and should be utilized

as much as possible.

See, all of this is true.

Habits are the driving force behind most of our behaviors.

They are a result of routines that we build up over time and they can be difficult to change because they're

so ingrained in our daily lives. But habits aren't always easy to build for a number of reasons. So let me ask you this, what if there was a

habit you could easily create for yourself, one that is more reliable than willpower, easier to build than normal habits, and one that will

have a long-term effect on your life. Well, that's where the tether habit comes into play.

But first, let's talk about why willpower is unreliable,

why habits are more reliable, why exactly habits are so dang hard to build, and how a tether habit can help solve all of this.

So we're going to get into all of that in a second, but I want to take a moment to thank today's sponsor, Green Chef.

It can be hard to think about dinner every single day.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Like somehow we live in this weird cycle where it's always

just about to be dinner time and I'm always unsure of what to make. That's why I'm

such a fan of Green Chef. Green Chef is the first USDA certified organic meal kit company.
