Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles Duhigg says "small patterns" can have a big impact on our lives.

"If you go and you run just 10 minutes today, you are 10 minutes healthier than if you had not run," he told PBS News’ Amna Nawaz. "Not only that, but if you run 10 minutes today, next week it’s gonna be a lot easier to run 15 minutes."

"It’s important to give ourselves the grace to find the small patterns in our life because those small patterns compound," he added.

Duhigg, author of "The Power of Habit," sat down with Amna Nawaz for the latest episode of PBS News’ podcast, "Settle In." He discussed how to make habits that actually stick and his newest book, "Supercommunicators."
