One of the more misunderstood aspects of transforming your health and physique is how much time and effort it takes on a daily basis.
Most people assume that it takes a monumental effort each and every single day. That you have to starve yourself. That you have to do endless hours of cardio.
Not true.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s going to take some discipline and consistency. It’s most definitely not going to be easy.
But if you just make SMALL improvements each day and you don’t take huge steps backwards, you’ll be shocked at how much you can accomplish.
I like to think of it in terms of percentages…because you know…I’m a stats geek.
I’m just going to focus on getting 1% better today. That’s it. One percent. Today only.
Don’t worry about tomorrow.
Don’t worry about yesterday.
Don’t try to get 10% or 20% better today. First, 10-20% actually happening is very rare. Second, 10% or 20% is a lot and becomes overwhelming to think about for most people.
Just improve the tiniest bit.
If you’re currently super sedentary and eat like a frat boy, go on a walk. That’s it. There’s your one percent.
The next day, eat 1 vegetable.
The next day, drink another bottle of water.
The next day, pack your lunch instead of eating out.
You get the idea.
If I commit to getting 1% better today, then 1% better tomorrow, then 1% better the next day, pretty soon I’m 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% better than I was when I started.
In a year, I’m 365% better than I was when I started. I guess if it compounds over that year it’s actually more but you get my point.
Losing 20, 30, 50 pounds seems overwhelming and futile for all of us at times.
For some, the idea of losing double digit pounds is so intimidating that they never get started.
Well, here’s your green light to get started.
Do something today. Something that’ll get you 1% closer to your goal. Something that’ll put a little wind in your sales. Something that’ll give you your first win.
Don’t try to get it all today.
Get a little today, a little tomorrow and a little the next day.
One percent each day.
Ready, set, go!
Ever stronger!
