Happy Monday lovelies!
So...this is something I often get frustrated about and want to get your feedback on.
Some video titles I grabbed on YouTube:
- You'll Understand Meditation Better Than 99% of People
- How to Get Ahead of 99% of People
- How to Avoid Regret Better Than 99% of People
- How to Be Fitter Than 99% of People Without Ozempic
As a writer, I can't deny that these nail many of the mechanics and rules of writing attention-grabbing titles/headlines.
And at the same time, these types of titles are actually the least motivating for me because I really don't care what 99% of people are doing.
I care about humanity, yes.
But tying my decision to meditate, be fit, etc. to an unknown 99%?
My goodness! 😊
👉 Let me know your thoughts: do you get motivated by that competitive approach or do you just want to master the art of figuring out what your body needs right now, in this moment (I'm not even going to say be better than you were yesterday because even that still has an element of perpetual competition with oneself).
My thinking is that we can't do everything - including the things that are good for us - only because we're under threat (i.e. don't get caught being part of the 99%).
