Speaker 1: Get everyone. Sam would here and this is your motivational
Speaker 1: moment for this week, and we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: improving by one percent, just one percent, every day. We
Speaker 1: all fall into the trap of extreme change, the extreme
Speaker 1: before and after the huge noticeable difference in someone's weight
Speaker 1: or fitness or health or whatever the transformation in whatever
Speaker 1: fast of their life might be. That's not really how
Speaker 1: change occurs. If you go to the gym and you
Speaker 1: work out for thirty minutes, you don't feel any fitter
Speaker 1: or look any different at the end of that thirty
Speaker 1: minute workout. So by the rationale of well I need
Speaker 1: to see a result to keep going would be I'll stop.
Speaker 1: But deep down you know if I do this every
Speaker 1: single day, eventually I will start to see a difference
Speaker 1: and feel the difference. So you keep going. But with
Speaker 1: so many things, we forget that we are so focused
Speaker 1: or so impatient on needing that dramatic change to be
Speaker 1: visible quickly, that we often don't stick it out or
Speaker 1: lose track of the fact that it's the one percent
Speaker 1: difference every day that is actually going to add up
Speaker 1: to make that huge difference. I mean, even thinking about
Speaker 1: it across a month. If you could be thirty percent
Speaker 1: better at something in just one month. That's a massive difference.
Speaker 1: It's not a small difference. You know, if I could
Speaker 1: be a thirty percent better runner in just one month,
Speaker 1: I'd be pretty damn happy with those results. So you
Speaker 1: just need to remind yourself that it's going to be
Speaker 1: those degrees of percentages or one percent changes consistently every day,
Speaker 1: which comes about because of your consistent behavior and your
Speaker 1: consistent habits that we need to focus on. So let's
Speaker 1: think about how we can be one percent better every
Speaker 1: single day. And it doesn't need to be doing the
Speaker 1: same thing over and over and over again. It can
Speaker 1: be a matter of doing little one percent change. I
Speaker 1: always think of the footy analogy. Oh it's all about
Speaker 1: the one percent, you know, it's not the big stuff
Speaker 1: that we do. It's the one percent. It's kind of
Speaker 1: the same with getting on top of your health. It's
Speaker 1: not always about the sixty minute workout or the extreme diet.
Speaker 1: It might be I change the oil that I'm cooking with.
Speaker 1: It might be I changed the breakfast cereal that I've
Speaker 1: eaten since I was a kid, and I've always known
Speaker 1: it's not the best choice. It's an okay, choice, but
Speaker 1: there's a better choice. I've made a change all of
Speaker 1: a sudden that might be bigger than one percent. You
Speaker 1: might get more than one percent just from making those
Speaker 1: simple changes. So the task that I've got for you,
Speaker 1: because this is a very individual thing, you're probably all thinking, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my one percent could be this, or my varied one
Speaker 1: percent is could be this, this or this. I want
Speaker 1: you to do a one percent and I'm calling the
Speaker 1: one percenters. It's just one small health change every day
Speaker 1: for fourteen days, and you're going to write them down.
Speaker 1: So the end of fourteen days, you're going to have
Speaker 1: fourteen things you've done, like the examples that I just
Speaker 1: gave the new breakfast ere or cooking with a different oil,
Speaker 1: or what it might be. It might be getting up
Speaker 1: five minutes earlier in your alarm and having a little
Speaker 1: stretch just that your date, whatever it might be. But
Speaker 1: you're going to do a one percent change every day
Speaker 1: for fourteen days, and then you're going to have this list.
Speaker 1: At the end of the fort and days. You're going
Speaker 1: to have this wonderful list that you'll be able to
Speaker 1: look back on. First of all, as a form of
Speaker 1: motivating yourself to keep going because this is the thing.
Speaker 1: We don't realize how much we've done. But if you
Speaker 1: track it and then you've got this list, you're like, hmm,
Speaker 1: I don't reckon. I made as many healthy changes in
Speaker 1: the whole of last year than I have in the
Speaker 1: last fourteen days. And when I put them all down
Speaker 1: together on one piece of paper and then reflect back,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty bloody proud of myself. And you might build
Speaker 1: you might have twenty eight of them after four weeks.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't want to still get
Speaker 1: too far ahead of ourselves. But I definitely want you
Speaker 1: to do this listener task starting now. Day one is tomorrow,
Speaker 1: So have a bit of a think about what you're
Speaker 1: going to do on day one, and you're going to
Speaker 1: do one positive health change in brackets one percent every
Speaker 1: day for the next fourteen days, and you had to
Speaker 1: write those down, and then I'd love to hear from
Speaker 1: you by you sharing them back to us on some
Speaker 1: of those one percent of changes, and I bet it
Speaker 1: won't just be a change that you make for the
Speaker 1: next fourteen days. Some of these will stick with you
Speaker 1: for life.
