The idea is simple: You establish a goal then each day you upload a ten-second video of yourself practicing said goal to the 100 website. (These videos can be private or public.) At the end of 100 days you&#8217;re able to upload a full minute of video to really highlight what you&#8217;ve been able to accomplish over the past weeks.\u00a0When you glance back at where you started and see how far you&#8217;ve come, you just may decide to commit to another 100-day goal.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Not all goals are a good fit for this format. For example, if one of your goals is to <strong><a title=\"how to run a 5K\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/easy-steps-to-running-a-5k\/\">run a 5k<\/a>,<\/strong> you may not be able to document 100 practice sessions leading up to the race. But, for things like mastering a new skill, completing a large project, or even fitting back into a certain pair of pants, this multimedia journaling can be great motivation.<\/p>\n<p>Tapped for ideas? If you&#8217;re a yogi you might want to <strong><a title=\"balance tips for yogis\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/07\/3-secrets-to-mastering-balance-poses-in-yoga\/\">perfect your balance<\/a> <\/strong>in half-moon pose; if you run you might want to <strong><a title=\"Flexibility training for runners\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/06\/5-strength-training-exercises-for-runners\/\">improve your flexibility<\/a><\/strong>. You may also want to think outside the health and fitness box and set a goal of learning a new language or instrument. With these sorts of resolutions you&#8217;ve got a clear start\u2014usually a pretty raw attempt at said skill\u2014and a clear finish, which is mastery of the goal (or at least improved proficiency).<\/p>\n<p>Uploading these en-route-to-a-goal videos may help you stay committed to your resolutions\u2014posting videos regularly keeps you accountable\u2014and they&#8217;re a fun way to track your growth, not just focus on the end result.
