The Emotional Component of Creating Habits

You know, one of the things that you emphasize in the book is the idea of celebrating success. If you can help yourself feel successful as you do a new behavior, it's that feeling that causes that behavior to become more automatic. It's tiny habits, isn't one tooth, two teeth, five teeth, all my teeth are two pushups. So even five years later, if you only want to floss one tooth, you do it, you look in the mirror and smile and say, good for me.
