Fun, Free, and Easy!

One of the most important and powerful maxims of Behavior Design is “Help people feel successful.” This is one of the ways we help innovators design products, systems, and services that work for good all over the world in every cultural context. When people feel successful, they stay motivated and often come back for more.

The decision to master the habit of Tiny Celebrations will be one of the best choices you’ll ever make—it will equip you with simple tools to satisfy this need for yourself. And maybe the best part of all is that Tiny Celebrations are fun, free, and easy!

Most recovery programs offer effective, built-in Tiny Celebrations. For example, receiving a twelve-step-recovery medallion or a Celebrate Recovery coin is a joy-filled, deeply personal moment of connection for many who are serious about the healing journey.

As you create and succeed with your TinyHabits, you will feel empowered to take the next tiny step toward sustained joy. My Behavior Design mentor, Dr. B. J. Fogg, taught me that habits are like seeds. Start small, find the right place for them, and grow them over time.

Jesus explained in one of my favorite parables that it’s God who provides good seeds. He invites us to receive and sow seeds of love. He does this so our lives will produce good results that help others know what He is like.

But depending on the type of soil you are, there may or may not be a good harvest to come. He described some of our soil as rocky, shallow, and hardened. Sometimes we’re too busy with worries and too set in our sorrow and self-pity to receive His life-giving seeds and living water.[8]

In many ways, this parable is like a blueprint you can use as a foundation for building your trauma-recovery Master Plan. Start by asking the following question: What kind of soil do I most want to be?

If it’s good soil, as Jesus says, you’ll need to slow down to begin cultivating a heart and soul that courageously faces, accepts, and grieves your losses, heartaches, and regrets in healthy ways. Then you will feel empowered to move toward becoming someone who is in the habit of making healing choices—someone who finds and celebrates what’s good, the person in the room who remains fully present and thankful.

Well done! You have read to the end of chapter 5 in a book about moving forward! Now is the perfect time for a Tiny Celebration! Maybe stand up, raise your hands to heaven, smile big, and say, “I’m awesome!”

Go ahead and celebrate this fine and courageous work you’ve done to slow down and take this tiny step toward joy.
