first of all let me introduce myself I’m
Pablo Menem an 11th grade student from
college earlier one of my credit skills
is being able to start an essay at 10:30
p.m. and turn 18 and 12 o’clock while
still receiving a good grade that’s
right I’m a big ass type of a
procrastinator I tend to leave
everything for the last minute and then
whine about the lack of sleep I get and
the dumb mistakes I make in my 500 word
a rush I’m definitely used to having
these habits since I was in fifth grade
but they have never really affected my
my grades nothing is that it got to a
point in which stress accumulated a lot
and I had to find another way hey that
same week I saw a TED video on my
facebook and it was about 30-day
challenges and how beneficial they were
hey and what good things came from doing
these activities you could change it
really could change someone’s daily life
then it occurred to me that a simple
task as putting away my phone for a
couple hours could really have an impact
if it was repaired for a whole month
yeah and then I asked myself what would
change if I plant different things each
day and I tried it with my friends and
we decided to try several challenges the
challenge is really a herb help our
daily life and we could bring a
different products from this experiment
we knew that it was for a better so we
decided to do these challenges and tell
you about our experience mine habits a
book by Arthur Costa
it explains the benefits that people
have from triangle a different
activities and a by changing
unbeneficial routines in their lives
might habits basically consist of
changing your habits and being able to
find a main goal and to reach this goal
by removing activities and adding more
beneficial ones this topic was also a
talk by Matt Cutts
he is the guy that I have on
representation and he explains his
journey through different three-day
challenges he was able to narrate his
experience and to us a
friend benefits that he gained for
instance going to work on a bike eating
the sugar and a becoming more fit by
going to a gym every single day for to
deport for two whole months these
experiences led us to understand that
mine habits and creating different
routines is beneficial for the human
body the different challenges that a me
and my group decided to make were very
simple in some cases and and very a
complex in others that’s what the truth
is that human behavior can be looked in
very complex ways think about each
morning when you wake up and get out of
bed which which food you touch the floor
with first this may be looked as a very
simple thing but can I I can assure and
suggest that that is the same food that
you used for the for this morning and
for the day before it and even for the
whole month this is kind of a very
simple routine where it can be also
looked as a habit but think about all
the characteristics that make up our
daily life the reflexes the habits the
routines that you create they all of
these different factors combined a
makeup of a lot of your daily life and
when you subtract or add one of it it
could definitely impact as a matter of
fact several scientists as I mentioned
before have looked upon this subject and
decided that the main habits should be
implemented by every single person when
you decide to focus on as on a certain
goal like getting subjects done or tasks
complete before that a certain due date
you start acting and removing certain
habits from your life for instance while
you use your phone your ways a 10
minutes a day and when you do this one
day it may be simple but I repeat it the
other day and so on this takes a lot of
time from your life and it definitely it
makes part of your routine but it’s not
beneficial when you set up a goal and
decide to remove this it absolutely
benefits your routine and it makes it
much easier to fulfill a goal hey my
group decided to choose different
challenges and for instance some were
very simple like going to bed early
and being able to enjoy that a longer
period of sleep and this benefited them
academically because they had more
energy on the day and they could focus
more on lectures others for instance
decided to do a 1/3 a push-up challenge
and this benefit them physically and it
was very healthy for for themselves I
decided to choose a different challenge
one that was not conventional I decided
to take a picture every single day for a
whole month and this really benefited me
because I could look back at the picture
collection I had and I could really
understand what happened every single
day and what was happening in every
moment that it was my picture the other
challenge that I decided to incorporate
a 430 a 30 day period was doing
something kind for the society I decided
to start off by giving out lunches to a
poor kids in the streets and found that
it was creating a routine when I went to
the streets and for the same group of
people and the same group of kids I
delivered the lunch to the oldest kid in
the group and he delivered it to his
brothers at first it was very joyful it
was kind of weird and different
experience that I had they were on I
discovered that when I did this for a
whole month I didn’t even need that the
fact that it was a chance to continue to
repeat it I decided to give away all my
toys and the old things that I had in my
house and create a routine to help
others a one week later I was in the car
with a friend and actually a friend that
I had done the challenge with and we
decided to pick up a guy that was
walking on the rain and to take him
where he was heading at that time we
understood the luxury the challenge that
has started for a TEDTalk event was
actually part of our lives and that we
had fulfilled what Matt Cutts
and Arthur Kosta had explained in their
book might habits and in his previous
TED talk that I said the challenges that
we had made had broken our daily lives
and had made routines and habits that
variable to stick further that’s why we
want you to understand the human mind is
a very big very big and powerful weapon
that we can use to reach life rose
actually when you underst
and when you have a mindset developed to
fulfill our goal you will naturally we
subtract activities are not beneficial
when you think about one thing to get
fit and one thing to have a healthier
life immediately come to mind to go to a
gym and to work more distances in a
daily life and that is actually what the
with what I might habit says when you
implement different and more successful
activities in your life you’re taking
away eating more chocolate a watching TV
and acting a interacting in favor of
your body so we found out that when you
when you break your routine which is
actually the hardest step to take it is
easier to complete these habits and to
create healthy routines for the rest of
your lives we want to invite all of you
to challenge yourself and to understand
not everything is possible with
dedication with perseverance so we
wanted to we want to invite it to do 38
challenges and to understand that
minimal activities are picking up your
phone 10 minutes for each day actually
create an impact which you could be
using for any other thing to write a
novel to paint to learn poetry to write
on although in 30 days to exercise to be
healthier there is infinite
probabilities that you can take that you
can take this opportunity for and in my
case it was very important to do
something for the society in order to
inspire all of you to create change for
further people in Cali in Colombia
outside of this country when you take a
time in all of your days for 30 days
there is infinite perfect probabilities
to create change for you and for society
