The Science of Sustainable Change
Founder, Behavior Design Lab, Stanford University
Fogg's Tiny Habits method demonstrates that lasting behavior change comes from starting extremely small and anchoring new habits to existing routines. His research shows that motivation is unreliable — but good design makes behavior change inevitable.
Habit Formation Psychology
Lasting wellbeing comes not from perfect execution but from consistent practice over time (Fogg, 2019, Tiny Habits, Stanford Behavior Design Lab). Understanding the science of habit formation ensures your flourishing blueprint becomes automatic rather than effortful.
The Habit Formation Loop
Cue
Environmental trigger that initiates the habit
Examples: Time, location, emotion, preceding action
Routine
The behavior or action performed
Examples: Gratitude practice, exercise, meditation
Reward
The benefit that reinforces the habit
Examples: Positive emotions, sense of accomplishment, connection
Evidence-Based Habit Strategies
Start Ridiculously Small
BJ Fogg's research shows that tiny habits are more likely to stick than ambitious ones. Focus on consistency over intensity.
Examples:
- • Write one gratitude item instead of three
- • Do 2 minutes of meditation instead of 20
- • Send one appreciation text per week
- • Read one page of a meaningful book daily
Habit Stacking
Attach new habits to existing strong behaviors using the formula: "After [existing habit], I will [new habit]."
Wellbeing Stack Examples:
- • After I pour my morning coffee, I will write three gratitudes
- • After I sit in my car, I will take three deep breaths
- • After I brush my teeth at night, I will reflect on my day's flow moments
- • After I eat lunch, I will text one person appreciation
Environment Design
Shape your environment to make good habits easier and bad habits harder. Your environment shapes behavior more than willpower.
Make It Obvious:
- • Place gratitude journal by coffee
- • Set phone reminders for practices
- • Create visual cues and prompts
Make It Attractive:
- • Use beautiful journals or apps
- • Pair habits with enjoyable activities
- • Celebrate small wins
The 1% Better Principle
Small improvements compound over time. Focus on being 1% better each day rather than perfect transformation. Consistency beats perfection, and small changes create remarkable results over months and years.
Building Antifragile Resilience
Beyond Bouncing Back
True resilience isn't just recovering from setbacks—it's becoming stronger through challenges. Antifragility means you actually gain from stress, obstacles, and uncertainty when you have the right mindset and tools.
The Three Levels of Resilience
1. Fragile
Easily damaged by stress, setbacks break system functioning
Characteristics:
- • Rigid thinking patterns
- • Single points of failure
- • Avoids challenges
- • Fixed mindset dominant
2. Resilient
Returns to baseline after stress, maintains functioning despite setbacks
Characteristics:
- • Good coping strategies
- • Strong support networks
- • Emotional regulation skills
- • Recovery-focused
3. Antifragile
Grows stronger through stress, challenges become opportunities for enhancement
Characteristics:
- • Views obstacles as growth
- • Multiple backup systems
- • Continuous learning focus
- • Thrives on uncertainty
Antifragile Wellbeing Strategies
Diversified Wellbeing Portfolio
Don't rely on single sources of wellbeing. Build multiple streams across all PERMA domains so challenges in one area don't derail your entire system.
Multiple Sources Example:
- • P: Gratitude, music, nature
- • E: Work projects, hobbies, sports
- • R: Family, friends, mentors, community
- • M: Career purpose, volunteering, spirituality
- • A: Professional, personal, creative goals
Backup Systems:
- • If work is stressful → lean into relationships
- • If relationships challenging → focus on personal growth
- • If health issues → emphasize meaning and contribution
- • If goals not progressing → celebrate process wins
Challenge Reframing System
Transform obstacles into growth opportunities using systematic reframing techniques.
The Growth Questions:
- • What can this challenge teach me?
- • How might this strengthen my character?
- • What new skills could I develop?
- • How might this redirect me toward something better?
- • What would my growth-minded future self say about this?
Preemptive Recovery Planning
Plan for inevitable setbacks when you're in a positive state, creating systems for quick recovery.
Emergency Wellbeing Kit:
- • List of people to call for support
- • Quick mood-boosting activities
- • Meaningful quotes or reminders
- • Evidence of past resilience
Minimum Viable Practice:
- • Identify smallest possible daily practice
- • Create "bad day" versions of habits
- • Focus on consistency over perfection
- • Plan comeback sequences
Lifelong Learning & Evolution
The Growth Continues
Wellbeing is not a destination but a dynamic journey of continuous learning, adaptation, and growth. Create systems for ongoing development that evolve with you throughout life's seasons and stages.

Life changes require wellbeing blueprint updates:
- • Major life transitions (job, relationship, location)
- • Significant stressors or challenges
