1% Better Every Day

1% Better every day by Trainer Cynthia Carlson

Habits are the compound interest of self-development.

The same way money multiplies through compound interest, so too do your habits multiply as you repeat them. It doesn’t appear to make a difference on any given day, yet the impact they deliver over the course of months and years can be enormous. It’s only when looking back two, five or ten years later that the value of good habits and the cost of bad ones becomes extremely obvious.

That is hard to appreciate as we make our way through our daily life. We overlook the small changes because they don’t seem to matter very much at the moment. Save some money today, you are not a millionaire tomorrow. You go to the gym 3 days this week, you are still overweight, feeling out of shape.

The same with bad habits, the slow pace of the consequences of these choices make it easy to let this behavior slide. I just ate one cookie, I can put off that project until tomorrow when I have more time to finish it, I can skip my workout it’s only one. A single bad decision is easy to dismiss.

When you make small beneficial changes and engage in positive habits to become 1% better every day, in one year you will be 37% better overall. On the flip side, repeated errors every day through poor decisions, tiny mistakes and rationalizing little excuses, combine to lead to a 1% decline day after day.

These 2 paths will lead to very different destinations. With good habits repeated over time, your destination will be toward success. Poor habits will lead to one of failure and hardship over time.

We should be far more concerned with the direction of our lives than with your current results. Results are important. But day to day, it’s the habits we employ that will predict our future.

Good habits make time your friend. Bad habits make time your enemy.

You get what you repeat.

Make it a great day!
