Getting the best out of your environment

I read this article, Motivation is Overvalued. Environment Often Matters More, by James Clear and I find it interesting.  It is true that we tend to think that if we are successful it has all to do with our competence.  But do you know that the environment we place ourselves in plays a part too?

James Clear was motivated to write this article after reading "The Power of Fifty Bits" by behavioural scientist, Bob Nease.




If you do not have time to read the book or read the article, maybe this table I was motivated by Jame Clear to create will help you some.



Create your own table to note areas you would like to improve under the column, "Your Decision".  I hope you will be able to design a better environment so that you can always make the right choice towards the goals you would like to attain.

What's eating you up?

Let the message in this video sink in.  Before you watch it, ask yourself if there is an obsession you have that is affecting your health.  Think about your bad eating habits.  Are you eating too much junk food?  Are you cooking with too much fat, salt and sugar than you should?

Think about the obsessions you have.  Smoking?  Alcohol? As you watch the video, visualise your obsession and sub-impose it over the image of "Key Lime Pie". 



Got it?
