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.
