Horizontal benefits of change

When we start implementing change it is important to be aware not only of the changes that we intended to occur, but also the horizontal effects! This refers to the secondary positive effects that can occur as a result of moving forward in life. You might for example choose to eat more sensibly, perhaps to loose weight. As you implement this and enjoy some nice healthy but tasty food, you might also find that you feel motivated to go to the gym or walk further each day. This is a by product of the state of mind that comes with positive change. To use a rather overused expression -  you gain a "can do" attitude. Not just that but an attitude of enjoying doing!!

All the more reason to make small but meaningful changes in life, one at a time rather than trying to overload yourself with massive leaps. Make the small changes and see what small horizontal benefits come right along with them!
