Hello! I’m BJ Fogg At Stanford I teach my students about human behavior so they can design compelling products like Instagram.

In 2012 I started teaching friends my breakthrough method for creating habits. At first I taught this just for fun. But it then caught on, and now the Tiny Habits® method has helped over 35,000 people.

Here I explain how to cheer for your tiny successes. It’s a vital part of my method.




To create a habit fast, cheer for yourself while you are doing the new habit you want, or cheer just after completing it.

My “self-cheering” technique may seem strange to you. But it works. You form new habits fast. Try it and see.

Here’s the secret . . .




Find at least one “success cheer” that feels natural to you.

In these slides, I list 10 methods.Pick any method. Or combine them.

Are you ready?




Do a physical movement once.1

For example . . . thumbs up, fist pump, victory sign, clap once

#




2 Do a physical movement that flows.

#

For example . . . a short victory dance, a goofy little jig, applaud




3 Say a word or phrase out loud.

#

For example . . . “awesome!” “bingo!” “yay, me!” “good job”




4 Say a word or phrase inside, to yourself.

#

For example . . . “nicely done!” “nailed it” “you rock” “way to go”




5 Sing a song phrase out loud.

#

For example . . . “Hey now, you’re a rock star . . .”




6 Sing a song phrase inside, to yourself.

#

For example . . . “Good morning, sunshine...”




7 Vocalize music or a sound effect out loud.

#

For example . . . “Do do do doooo!”

(trumpet sound for royalty)




8 Imagine hearing music or a sound effect.

#

For example . . . roaring crowd, happy for your success




9 Feel an internal glow inside yourself.

#

Note: This is difficult for many peopleYou conjure up a feeling of success and happiness.




Move your face to look happy.

#

For example . . . you smile, you laugh




You can combine these modes.

For example . . .

You say “awesome!” while you do a fist pump.




I know all this might sound crazy. But my research makes this clear:

People who self-cheer effectively can create habits fast.

Find a success cheer that feels natural to you.
