When people think of life-changing habits, they imagine massive transformations: waking up at 5 a.m., running marathons, or writing a book. But real, lasting change often begins with something smaller — micro-habits.
These are tiny, low-effort actions that seem insignificant at first, but compound over time into powerful momentum.
1.

Rehydrates your brain
Sends a signal: “I take care of myself.”
It’s a micro-act of self-respect.
3.

Over time, your brain adapts to discomfort — and that’s where growth lives.
4.
