The Effects of Daily Practice Compound

The Effects of Daily Practice Compound

What at first seems hard will over time start to seem a bit easier and easier, through consistent practice. Through repeated engagement, the effects of the daily activities compound to lead to the development of something special. This is one of the many reasons I recommend to do the daily activities and see what happens to your mental and physical health. You also build momentum, and that is a major force behind all great accomplishments. Of course, in order to build momentum, one has to overcome some level of resistance.
One does not always know the path to success, but it is often just behind whatever you resist. So find the resistance and smile at it as it is the force that does not want you to change. Once this force is overcome, the rest will be easier.

Wisdom and Insights from Stephen Anton

Stephen Anton

I have had the privilege of studying the fields of obesity, metabolism, and aging for the past 20 years and during this time I’ve made several discoveries that have greatly improved my health and quality of life, as well as the health of my family and friends which I enjoy sharing with the world. By training, I am a clinical and health psychologist and received my PhD from the University of Florida in 2003. After completing my doctoral degree, I completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In 2007, I accepted a faculty position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Florida where I am at presently.
