Small changes in life often go unnoticed due to their minimal immediate impact. If you're not in shape today, you'll likely be in the same condition tomorrow. You won't gain weight overnight from enjoying a pizza or lose it from a single session of exercise. However, these choices accumulate, leading to significant outcomes over time. Regular exercise will enhance your fitness over weeks, months, and years. Similarly, consistently consuming high-calorie food will result in weight gain. To evolve into the best version of ourselves, it's crucial to cultivate habits that yield compounded benefits over time. #AtomicHabits #smallchanges #bigresults #goodhabits #compoundeffects See show notes: https://inlet.fm/aperture/episodes/671aa185547aa357809843c3 Learn more about your ad choices.
