So often we convince ourselves that change is only meaningful if there is some large, visible outcome associated with it. When trying to lose weight, we often put pressure on ourselves to make some earth-shattering improvement that everyone will talk about.

Meanwhile, improving by just 1% isn’t notable (and sometimes it isn’t even noticeable). But it can be just as meaningful, especially in the long run.

In the beginning, there is basically no difference between making a choice that is 1 percent better or 1 percent worse. (In other words, it won’t impact you very much today.)

But as time goes on, these small improvements or declines compound and you suddenly find a very big gap between people who make slightly better decisions on a daily basis and those who don’t.

Here’s what we want you to hear 👇🏼

If you get one percent better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done. This is why small choices don’t make much of a difference at the time, but add up over the long-term.

Do more of the things that are working, and avoid what’s not.

You’ll never be perfect and progress will never be linear, but you can help yourself by conquering small, easy habits each day.
