I want to do that.
I want to do some things that are going to help me with my health and my well-being, but I don't have time.
I'm busy.
I'm really trying to show people that every little bit does count.
And five minutes of movement, let's say every day, simple movements that fits in around your lifestyle, it's going to have much more impact on your life and your wellbeing than going to the gym for one hour a week.
And like you, I don't believe that you can be healthy
by just focusing on one area of your health.
It's very typical that someone will go, right, okay, I'm going to change my diet this year.
I'm going to do something that I've never done before.
When I get a new diet plan, I'm going to stick to it.
I'm just going to change my life, right?
I've heard that before.
And you know, I've probably been guilty of that myself before, right?
It's a very common human trait to do that.
But it very much feeds into that all or nothing approach, which I'm trying to move people away from.
But if we take diet, for example, people are trying to reduce their sugar intake.
They're trying to reduce how much alcohol they're consuming.
And often they'll go completely cold turkey, right?
No sugar, no alcohol.
And for a week or two, they managed to do that.
