Tiny Habits That Change Your Life | Eli Susman

AJ sits down with researcher Eli Susman to discuss micro-practices—well-being activities that take 30 seconds or less. They challenge the idea that mindfulness requires long sessions and instead explore why consistency beats duration. Eli introduces practical techniques like self-compassionate touch and the "move, touch, breathe, flow" framework. A counterintuitive strategy of giving yourself permission to skip days is also covered. The conversation reframes self-improvement as an act of self-friendship rather than rigid discipline.
