What would it look like for you to change just 1% of your daily habits, behaviours or thoughts?
What's the impact of 1% change?
If you were flying an airplane and you flew off course by just 1%, there is a great chance you'd end up on another continent, let alone in the place you intended to be.
The same thing goes for your health habits. If you change just 1% of your behavior, it can add up to big results.
One of my favorite books of all time, Atomic Habits by James Clear, is about just that. There are no neutral choices in life. Every choice you make every day puts you on the curve of achieving your goals and finding success or further from the goal.
But what does 1% change look like? It could be sleeping 1% longer each night (just a few minutes), eating half the cookie instead of the entire thing, adding 1 minute of high intensity to the end of your workout, putting your gym kit on first thing in the morning so you're ready to exercise, reading for the time equivalent to 1% of your day. Once the 1% becomes a habit, you add another 1% change, and another...
Soon you've changed your entire life by 1%. You're living a bigger, more vibrant, more inspired life by taking one small step at a time and avoiding overwhelm and failure.
It's the things that are easy to do but also easy not to do that make all the difference.
What 1% change you could commit to making today?
