How 1% Today Can and Will Change Your Life
Each day, we are afforded the opportunity to make decisions on what we choose to think, do (or not do), and act.
We get to choose who we surround ourselves with. We get to choose how we spend, or invest, our time. We get to choose what kind of movement we do, what kind of food we eat.
Every day is filled with millions of micro-decision points that in turn impact the next day, next week, next month … all the way through your lifespan.
Did you know that if just today you chose to be 1% better than by the end of one week you’d improve the quality of your life by 7.2%! If you keep up that incremental improvement, in just one month that number shoots up to 34.8%.
That’s a huge return on investment, way better and bigger than the stock market, and it’s all about your own personal quality of life.
Why then, when the returns are SO GOOD do people shy away from continuous self improvement?
The answer lies in the comfort zone. Creating and taking action on change can be daunting. Living in a bubble where you live a monotone life where you know what to expect to some feels much easier than going forth with taking present moment action and up leveling your health and well being.
That primal fear of change is what keeps people stuck in jobs they don’t like, unhealthy relationships with their bodies, and an overall poor quality of life. Staying in a ‘comfort zone’ actually produces the opposite of comfort. It can feel empty and like you are living in the classic Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day.
If you ask us, that’s no way to go about your day.
To grow beyond your comfort zone you only need to take ONE ACTION to start tipping the scale. Once you start taking action, your zone of comfort gets bigger and bigger, and soon the ripple effect will cascade through all areas of your life.
1% better of YOU is > the same you, over and over and over again
Growing is part of the human experience. If you miss out on growth, there’s a whole world of possiblities that you’ve taken off the plate.
Today we challenge you to do ONE THING beyond your comfort zone and see how it feels. Drop us a comment below and share what you did and how it made you feel 👇
