6 estrategias para la aplicación personal del kaizen: 1-Hacer preguntas pequeñas, para disipar temores e inspirar la creatividad. 2-Tener pensamientos pequeños, para desarrollar nuevas habilidades y hábitos. 3-Realizar acciones pequeñas que garanticen el éxito.

Kaizen: uso de pasos muy pequeños para mejorar un hábito, un proceso o un producto.

Mito 1: el cambio es duro. En realidad, grandes cambios pueden tener lugar con pequeños pasos con poco esfuerzo. Ej: efectos del sedentarismo: mejor un paseo corto cada hora que pasar una hora en el gym cada día.

Mito 2: El tamaño del paso determina el tamaño de los resultados, de modo que hace falta dar grandes pasos para obtener grandes resultados. Los pequeños cambios pueden llevar a grandes resultados. Ej.: estudio de 400k taiwaneses, viven 3 años + haciendo 15 minutos de ejercicio al día.
