This chapter explores the importance of establishing sustainable habits, with a focus on the simple yet powerful practice of walking. The discussion highlights how committing to consistent daily activities can lead to long-lasting health benefits and foster a lifestyle of well-being.
Have you ever set a New Year's resolution to get healthier? It's an annual tradition to sign up for gym memberships and then never to use them. It's so established that the entire gym business model is based upon people not actually using the service. After all, it's long been thought that to significantly improve your mental and physical health takes expensive gym memberships, newfangled equipment at home, workout trainers and more. But what if all of this is false? What we know now is that there is a much simpler and easier alternative. Today, I have invited Anna McKeown back to the show to talk about this. Anna has this uncanny ability to cut through the noise to get to what's really essential. She does it in conversations in our marriage all the time, and she's doing it right now with her new essential intent for the year. As you'll see, by the end of this episode, you will be able to establish the simplest lifelong habit necessary for avoiding cognitive decline and improving physical health.
