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