WHY gets RESULTS?

Hang with us as we start at the ground floor & ending with a life “hack”

Consequence = Result of an Action

When we want to develop a new habit, we DO something (ACTION) to get the RESULT.

Let’s explore this concept of CONSEQUENCE to “hack” your brain to produce better RESULTS.

Stay with me for this brief, spectacular roller coaster of words…

DO => RESULT (1st) Intended

&RESULT (1st) => MORE RESULTS (2nd) 

&MORE RESULTS (2nd) ==>> EVEN MORE RESULTS (3rd) Unintended

One could say that the thing you DO creates a wave of RESULTS, many that may have never been anticipated.  

Most of the time, we rarely consider all the results. (I mean who has time?)  Simply, we don’t associate the DO with all their effects.

Ok, bring it back in –Two examples.

#1

Working out, sucks (period).  

(1st) You invest time & get pain. 

Clearly an UNdesirable outcome.

Why on God’s green earth do you work out?

(2nd) Get stronger muscles & the “blood” flowing 

Which can lead to

(3rd) better health & do more in life

Which can lead to

(4th) Avoiding disease, living longer, & experiencing more

Which can lead to

(5th) Spending a beautiful day in the park romping around & flying a kite with your grand-grand kids

Which begs the question…

Does **one** workout lead to the (5th) RESULT?

Probably not.

You increase the likelihood, when you made the decision to make working out regularly, as part of your weekly life.

Now let’s take a look at a different aspect of health.

#2 

Eating sweets, so yummy & delicious.(1st)

 Satisfy that craving & get that “good/happy” feeling (YEA!)

Clearly, a desirable outcome.

Why on God’s green earth would you not eat sweets all day, every day?

(2nd) As the body processes sugar, it creates an environment of chronic low-grade inflammation

Which leads to

(3rd) Weight gain & feeling fatigued

Which can lead to

(4th) Increased likelihood of heart disease, blood sugar problems, cancer, & allergies

Which can lead to

(5th) A general feeling of ill & possibly a string of hospital stays dealing with complications of disease 

One cookie will do all that?

Not likely.

However, a lifetime of added sugar can (intended & unintended (read food labels, most have a form of sugar in the top five ingredients (seriously!))) 

We will leave you with an seemingly simple exercise (aka, the life “hack”)  

This is one we ask our clients to answer to get RESULTS.

Answering this one word, helps to focus our DOs that have beneficial (2nd, & 3rd) RESULTS.  

Most ask…. 

What?

NOPE, that won’t get you there.  Though, it can show methods.  (This is what people pay us everyday to answer.)

Answer this…to get RESULTS.

**WHY?**

(Why do you do?)
