Episode 916: Build the Right Choice Into Your Environment & Without Failure There is No Success by Anthony Ongaro - Break The Twitch.
After years of impulse spending on Amazon and elsewhere, Anthony Ongaro realized that his one-click purchase habits were more of a physical Twitch than an intentional action. It turned out, this Twitch wasn’t just limited to online spending. It applied to social media, impulsive smartphone usage, and more.
Break the Twitch is all about minimizing distractions and doing more of what matters.

your life, build the right choice into your environment by Anthony and Gareth break the twitch dot com everyday were faced with thousands of decisions
it's been proven that we get progressively worse and making them as a day goes on. So how can constructive daily decisions be
integrated into normal life. I found that the most effective way to make the right choice is by simply making it more difficult to choose poor.
Delay, for example, if I'm hungry and I go into the kitchen unlikely to grab something that I can quickly but is not very healthy. But if I saw
Cookin portioned out individual meals and tupperware containers in the fridge? I set myself up fur healthier eating
always easy to something healthy, insubstantial. Instead of ordering pieces,
or grabbing some chocolate here are three ways to build: the right choice into your environment. Number one eat a big meal before going grocery
maybe there is a real risk that comes from going to the grocery store on an empty stomach. If
really hungry. I much more likely to make unhealthy choices. I found myself overspending
items I wouldn't have normally gun like a package of Orioles, his Orioles make it back to the house.

Food from making it into the house at all by not purchasing it at the grocery store, if possible, eat a healthy meal before going to the grocery store, when I'm full, I find that I make much

more alert and happy and your saving money on gas and car expenses. These are some
examples of how I build the right choice into my daily routine. What kinds of things to you do too hoarders.
Accountable and motivate yourself to complete these types of tasks.
I have another post from Hamburg.
First, thank you to everyone for their support. I did in in home blood tests through them

Us by Anthony and Guerrero of break the two which dot com failure. It's a peculiar thing, isn't it it doesn't feel great to say out loud Webster defines it as a lack of success and while the definition is perfectly clear, we all give failure the good credit,
deserves failure. Offers us much more once we allow ourselves to look beyond is direct definition. That's why failure needs
new marketing consultant its heifer re brand and I'm willing to step up to the plate quote. I have not failed ten thousand times
I've success. We found ten thousand ways that will now work Thomas Edison, when it comes down to it. Failure is critically important part of the path of success and our growth is huge
beings. So why does it have such a negative connotation? We must first or with the aid.
That failure is not a bad thing. If we are trying news
things and pushing our limits. We should be failing constantly each time we try. We
fail, a little less than the time before it. This process is empowerment, growth and learning.
You work out, we driver muscles to exhaustion to the point of failure so that they rebuilt
and stronger than they were before. The same process occurs
We ourselves fail whether its while learning new skill trying to pass a particular test or beat a video game feeling does not make you a failure.
Big difference and inform distinction in the way we talk about ourselves and our aspirations, just because we may fail at some,
thing does not make us ourselves failures. Bernay brown talks about this important concept in her TED talk the power of vulnerability.
If we were to never fail how successful is success, really
The feeling is not a regular part of the process of accomplishing something. How rewarding will the final result be out summit that it would be significantly less so
So what can we do to solve this problem to embrace failure?
growth and triumph over a stagnant, boring life. I'll take a page to my good friend, David Dell's, personal palsy, celebrate failure.
Was not feeling when David stood up in front of a large group of simple av attendees last year, Minneapolis and told us through
up in the air and yell yea, I failed, it was met with laughs, some odd looks and valiant cheers at times. We
feel so spectacularly that it's hilarious, sad, an exciting all at the same time, but the reality is we grow far more from failing than we do from. Success is time that we take back failure own it
RO from it. We can no longer afford to see failure as something to avoid. We must seek it out and crush it with our celebratory spirits.
Broach failure with a positive attitude and a perspective of growth. We allow ourselves to turn it into a success, every failure,
an opportunity to adapt and change the way we do things so that the following result is better whatever it may be without a mind. How have you fail today,
You do

Can you or move on, and if I move on, I learned something so yea approach here. Some of these projects from me in
Future some will be more behind the scenes, but I totally agree that we need
approach failure with a positive attitude for sure. So keep that in mind today, and I should do it for the third
