WEBVTT - MOTIVATIONAL MOMENT: Improving 1% every day 📈

0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Get everyone. Sam would here and this is your motivational

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>moment for this week, and we're going to talk about

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>improving by one percent, just one percent, every day. We

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:19.120
<v Speaker 1>all fall into the trap of extreme change, the extreme

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:24.200
<v Speaker 1>before and after the huge noticeable difference in someone's weight

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.360
<v Speaker 1>or fitness or health or whatever the transformation in whatever

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>fast of their life might be. That's not really how

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>change occurs. If you go to the gym and you

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>work out for thirty minutes, you don't feel any fitter

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>or look any different at the end of that thirty

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.599
<v Speaker 1>minute workout. So by the rationale of well I need

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>to see a result to keep going would be I'll stop.

0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>But deep down you know if I do this every

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>single day, eventually I will start to see a difference

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and feel the difference. So you keep going. But with

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>so many things, we forget that we are so focused

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>or so impatient on needing that dramatic change to be

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>visible quickly, that we often don't stick it out or

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.040
<v Speaker 1>lose track of the fact that it's the one percent

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>difference every day that is actually going to add up

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to make that huge difference. I mean, even thinking about

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.319
<v Speaker 1>it across a month. If you could be thirty percent

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>better at something in just one month. That's a massive difference.

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not a small difference. You know, if I could

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>be a thirty percent better runner in just one month,

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd be pretty damn happy with those results. So you

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>just need to remind yourself that it's going to be

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>those degrees of percentages or one percent changes consistently every day,

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>which comes about because of your consistent behavior and your

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>consistent habits that we need to focus on. So let's

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>think about how we can be one percent better every

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>single day. And it doesn't need to be doing the

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>same thing over and over and over again. It can

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.799
<v Speaker 1>be a matter of doing little one percent change. I

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>always think of the footy analogy. Oh it's all about

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the one percent, you know, it's not the big stuff

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>that we do. It's the one percent. It's kind of

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the same with getting on top of your health. It's

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>not always about the sixty minute workout or the extreme diet.

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>It might be I change the oil that I'm cooking with.

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>It might be I changed the breakfast cereal that I've

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>eaten since I was a kid, and I've always known

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not the best choice. It's an okay, choice, but

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a better choice. I've made a change all of

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a sudden that might be bigger than one percent. You

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>might get more than one percent just from making those

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>simple changes. So the task that I've got for you,

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.959
<v Speaker 1>because this is a very individual thing, you're probably all thinking, Yeah,

0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>my one percent could be this, or my varied one

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.839
<v Speaker 1>percent is could be this, this or this. I want

0:02:56.880 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>you to do a one percent and I'm calling the

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>one percenters. It's just one small health change every day

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>for fourteen days, and you're going to write them down.

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>So the end of fourteen days, you're going to have

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>fourteen things you've done, like the examples that I just

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>gave the new breakfast ere or cooking with a different oil,

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.640
<v Speaker 1>or what it might be. It might be getting up

0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>five minutes earlier in your alarm and having a little

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>stretch just that your date, whatever it might be. But

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you're going to do a one percent change every day

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>for fourteen days, and then you're going to have this list.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>At the end of the fort and days. You're going

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to have this wonderful list that you'll be able to

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>look back on. First of all, as a form of

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.839
<v Speaker 1>motivating yourself to keep going because this is the thing.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>We don't realize how much we've done. But if you

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>track it and then you've got this list, you're like, hmm,

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't reckon. I made as many healthy changes in

0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>the whole of last year than I have in the

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>last fourteen days. And when I put them all down

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>together on one piece of paper and then reflect back,

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty bloody proud of myself. And you might build

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>you might have twenty eight of them after four weeks.

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I don't want to still get

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>too far ahead of ourselves. But I definitely want you

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>to do this listener task starting now. Day one is tomorrow,

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So have a bit of a think about what you're

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>going to do on day one, and you're going to

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 1>do one positive health change in brackets one percent every

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>day for the next fourteen days, and you had to

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.080
<v Speaker 1>write those down, and then I'd love to hear from

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 1>you by you sharing them back to us on some

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:40.719
<v Speaker 1>of those one percent of changes, and I bet it

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>won't just be a change that you make for the

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 1>next fourteen days. Some of these will stick with you

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 1>for life.
