Why should I monitor my progress when changing health habits?

The tendency to discount the power of monitoring is something we see all the time. Keeping a close watch on behavior is especially important for counting calories, reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke, or keeping track of a complicated workout routine. But when the behavior is something as simple as walking once a day, keeping track of it on paper seems a bit silly because it's so easy to remember if you did it or not.

However, this is where many people go wrong. Keeping track of your actions isn't only about remembering what you did. In fact, the power in monitoring what you do is that it increases the likelihood of your repeating the behavior.

Without monitoring, there is nothing to demonstrate the progress you are making in meeting your goal.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
