🧠 Mini Summary: “Atomic Habits” by James Clear
A life-changing guide on how to transform your habits by focusing on small, consistent actions instead of big leaps.
🔑 Key Lessons plus support focus scriptures:
1️⃣ Tiny habits matter.
Small, consistent actions compound into huge results over time.
📖 “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” — Zechariah 4:10
2️⃣ Focus on identity, not goals.
Instead of saying “I want to work out,” say “I’m becoming someone who values health.”
📖 “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.” — Proverbs 23:7
3️⃣ Habit stacking works.
Link new habits to existing ones — e.g., “After I brush my teeth, I’ll pray for one minute.”
4️⃣ Make it easy.
Remove friction: prepare your environment to support good choices.
📖 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us” — Hebrews 12:1
5️⃣ Track your progress.
Seeing your consistency builds motivation and keeps momentum strong.
