I love this quote by James Clear
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become”
I talk about this a lot in clinic. It’s the small changes, made consistently over long periods of time that create significant change…..
If you want to be a morning person…..start setting an alarm 15min earlier.
You want to be more active…. use this 15 min to have a short brisk walk.
You want to lose weight….decrease your portion size slightly.
You want to be less sedentary at work….. use your lunch break to have a walk or introduce walking meetings with your colleagues.
You want to be less stressed……. commit to 10 minutes meditation a day which has been shown to decrease anxiety and improve mental health.
Small changes are easier to implement than larger more restrictive changes that we then cannot maintain in the longer term. What changes can you make to move yourself closer to the person you wish to become?
