Making Public Commitments

Yesterday I made vegetable soup. As you can see I am no Master Chef.  You may be wondering why I have decided to do 'show and tell' on my soup.

It is because the reason I made vegetable soup yesterday is important.

In a couple of recent blogposts I have mentioned the importance of eating 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.  This public announcement about diet and health led me to notice that there was a difference between what I was saying and doing.  So soup got made.

If you want to motivate yourself to do something, make a public announcement and then let yourself notice how your behaviour is stacking up.
