The Butterfly Effect
The butterfly effect is a concept within chaos theory mathematics that means a small change in one state of being can be responsible for big differences in another. The term was coined based on the idea that the wind pushed by a butterfly in one part of the world, could be responsible for starting a hurricane somewhere else. As unlikely as that may be, I’ll explain here how true the concept is within the changes I made to my life – each starting with one small push.
How I changed my eating lifestyle
One of the most important lessons that I learned during this fitness journey is to make small changes. This requires patience and an understanding that this is a long game. But the key to this concept – and why it works for me – is that small changes don’t feel like changes, and that’s why they stick. With each change, I gradually changed my lifestyle often without even knowing it. Then, another small change moved my lifestyle again. Then again, and again.
