It’s easy to start a new program and get overwhelmed by all of the changes you feel you have to make.
And so..well…we freak out and never end up moving forward.
But before you let your brain go into freak out mode…start by focusing on small tweaks!
Or as I’ve liked saying “Tweak before you freak!”
Because small changes add up. And they help us create something actually sustainable.
Too often we feel like we have to overhaul everything, when really those small changes are what add up and allow us to be consistent.
They allow us to create new habits we can maintain after that initial motivation fades.
So focus on small habit adjustments based on your current routine.
What are just 3 small things you can focus on this week?
Is it drinking more water? Doing a 5 minute workout when you’re short on time? Simply tracking your food?
List out 3 habit changes to start implementing and mark them off each day.
Even make them so ridiculously easy you feel silly listing them.
This helps you build that momentum and see lasting changes!
In an unrelated to health or Freak/Tweak topic, I have been investigating how to rate or leave a comment on iTunes or iPodcasts. At the end of every podcast you ask us to rate and leave a comment, I guess because it helps the algorithm. The thing is, it’s not real clear how to do that.
1. can you rate each individual episode or is it a general overall rating?
2. Can you leave a comment for a spesific topic or is it lumped on a pile of other comments?
I’ve googled this, asked Siri about this and it’s still confusing. With my Superpower OCD mind I’m unable to let this go until I understand how this works. This applies to other podcasts I listen to and at the end they always ask pleadingly for me to rate and leave a comment. Gahh!!
How to leave a rating or review in Apple Podcasts (on an iOS device)
1. Open the Podcasts app
.2 Choose “Search” from the bottom row of icons and enter the name of the show (i.e., “The Mom Hour” or Redefining Strength) into the search field
3. Select the show under Shows (not under Episodes)
4. Scroll down past the first few episodes until you see Ratings & Reviews
5.Click “Write a Review” underneath the displayed reviews from other listeners.
6. You’ll then have the option to rate us on a 5-star scale, and write a review if you choose (you can rate without writing, if you’d prefer)
Thank you Fred! Hopefully only 5 star reviews ;-P
