One Good Choice Leads To Another

It is amazing how the little things add up. One fifteen minute walk. Smiling at a stranger you pass on the street. Eating a healthy breakfast in the morning. All these little things add up to one happy, positive life.

However, even more amazing than the sum of all those little parts, is the chain reaction that one good decision starts. That one positive, little effort begins a chain reaction of other good decisions – it’s inevitable. When you feel good about any single decision you make, your body and mind feel more energized and empowered to make another.

Don’t believe us? We challenge you to try it for yourself, by making one of these small decisions today.

• Buy a bag of apples instead of a bag of chips.
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Meet a friend for a walk instead of watching a half-hour of television.
• Do 30 jumping-jacks during your lunch break.
• Skip your afternoon soda, and drink a glass of water instead.
• Tell a family member or friend you love them.
• Smile and say hi to three co-workers you don’t normally interact with.
• Add a cup of any vegetable to your dinner tonight.

There are so many other small choices to be made - which one did you make today?

No matter what you picked, we’ll be surprised if it doesn’t lead to a second or third good decision. And if not, don’t fret – you made one great decision, and that is something to celebrate in itself!

Happy decision making,
