Hi ,
People are loving our Action TIPS, so we're highlighting them here so you can digest them more fully. Enjoy!
“One little secret of medicine and social science is how measurement itself creates improvement. When researchers study the effect of a given intervention, simply
asking people to track a specific outcome makes it more likely to improve. While this is a limitation for scientific experiments, you can use this to your advantage.
(For example) If you want to increase your activity, measure how much you move. When people are assigned to wear a pedometer as part of randomized controlled trials, they walk at least one extra mile per day on average. Overall activity levels go up by 27 percent. Body Mass Index
(BMI) decreases, and blood pressure goes down."

The Compound Effect: "Right this moment: Pick an area of your life where you most want to be successful. Do you want more money in the bank? A
trimmer waistline? The strength to compete in an Iron Man event? A better relationship with your spouse or kids?
Picture where you are in that area, right now. Now picture where you want to be: richer, thinner, happier, you name it. The first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to start by becoming aware of the choices that lead you away from your desired destination. Become very
conscious of every choice you make today so you can begin to make smarter choices moving forward."
