This speech is sooooo true for me, like, I always wanted to run for 40 minutes almost every day, I got used to force myself to do this, and eventually, I gave up after a month, and, why do think is going on now?) I’m running as much as I truly can, for 20-30 minutes and watching avatar simoutanously :))) (I’m an English learner, so I watch in English)
So, it works, it really works
Good luck to everyone!😃

Thanks. I needed to hear this today “be mediocre every day”
Eduardo
January 26, 2021 at 9:38 pm
A lazy person doing “better than nothing” will just add their ever growing list of quit ambitions. That’s why they’re lazy. Each individual needs to audit themselves as to why they do what they do, and why they won’t voluntarily make the sacrifice to be better. This talk, ain’t changing anybody for any sustained amount of time
Don’t be confused by the speaker going from one minute walks to consistently running. She’s a successful individual already, she can pick up a new habit like average people find a new food to overconsume. Her successful strategy came well before she started taking those one minute walks
When a person actually wants to improve themselves, they will. And not *one* minute sooner than that
orange appled
January 26, 2021 at 10:27 pm
You sound very cynical about her message. Is it just because she is a professional coach? So you dismiss the “willingness to be bad at something” tactic, which turns our well intentioned but often failed ambition and strategies on their head? Yet you don’t offer an alternative. How very lazy of you 😉
And behind the willingness to be bad at something lies the commitment to do something daily, no matter how unmotivated the person might feel. Because that will hardwire the habit in the brain after a few weeks and on many days the person will feel the desire to run or cycle further than for a minute, simply because of the desire and not because they are being highly disciplined.
To me it makes good sense. I’m a perfectionist who has to aim not to be too ambitious from the start, but to build up slowly, so I will be bearing this woman’s wise words in mind when I start my rehab (literally tomorrow) after months of debilitating illness.
Eduardo
January 26, 2021 at 10:42 pm
@orange appled “Each individual needs to audit themselves as to why they do what they do, and why they won’t voluntarily make the sacrifice to be better.”
I just copy/pasted that. Not because I’m lazy, but because I already wrote it once and didn’t feel like retyping it. Guess you missed that part as you were designating me as cynical and charging I didn’t give an alternative answer
If anyone had the “secret ” to changing average, lazy people, that individual would be a very rich person. And no, I’m not talking Tony Robbins rich, I’m talking Elon Musk rich. And you wouldn’t be hearing about it on a random afternoon on YouTube
This is simply one of the more trite drops of water in the ocean of ineffective motivational advice. I’m not against the motivational industry, or cynical as you put it, but this is in fact a one-way ticket to disappointment if you’re an already lazy person
If you’re like this speaker and you already have a foundation of productivity, then yeah you can mentally hack yourself into picking up something new. But it’s not transferable to someone who _didn’t_ build their own foundation. That’d be like an athlete who got out of shape from a few years out of the game, then getting back into shape and you think you can too. Noooo, you can’t, not like them, because you never did it the first time. You’re not, them
The “secret” to being better, is work. That’s it. If this speaker was honest about a 1-Minute solution, that’s pretty much all she would have said. Instead of an eleven minute soliloquy trying to trick lazy people into thinking they’re about to do something consequential

Okay but what is the minimum if the habit you wanna get at is “stop smoking”? Every day for one minute _don’t_ smoke? If that’s the start then my roommate first needs to start smoking *all day long,* which is *w.a.y* more than the ‘about one pack a week’ he currently smokes!!

How do you apply this when you have Chronic Health issues? I’ve built up really good habits many times for several months, but then a health setback can make those habits physically impossible and the routine gets torn up and a sense of futility can creep in easily.

People can come up with similar ideas independently. Just because it looks or sounds the same as something else, doesn’t mean it’s “stolen”. This is a simple concept. I discovered it for myself as well. Without that channel and without this lady. I just used a 2-minute time frame. But I am pretty sure even the ancient Greeks already had a similiar concept.

This doesn’t apply to everyone. Some people thrive in a push your limits sort of regiment and I’m one of them. Sure, work up to things, but if pushing yourself is what you want then revel in it. Don’t fear failure, especially if you’re at the edge of your limit. You’ve already hit the mark this is just more. This lady may be right for some people but don’t let her stop you from competing with yesterday.

Habits are formed in a responsive process with others. It is futile to attempt to “program” yourself using “science based” techniques. You form habits through language and interaction. Nothing we think or do emerges except through language and interaction. Read some Vygotsky, James, Mead, Blumer, Burke.
