Fear Motivation

I’ve just been reading a book called entrepreneurship in it the author Alex Mcmillan talks about fear and how the fear of something is a greater motivation to do something than thinking of the positive, and I thought the same principles could be used to if you wanted motivation to live a healthier life.

Smoking can cause cancer so the governments of the world use that as as a motivation to make you stop, here in the U.K they also use it as an excuse to rip of smokers charging about 90% tax on a pack of fags. Other fears the U.K Government use to swell the chancellors coffers and raise more cash for MP’s expenses and supporting George W Bush’s wars include but are not limited to Global warming and decreasing fossil fuel supples, this fear means they can add about 80% tax on to the cost of petrol, I reckon theirs load of others but I’ve forgotten them if you know any fears the government use to rip of British tax payers please leave a comment at the bottom.

Back to using fear to make you stop smoking, the fear of death from cancer or heart disease is probably a bit to distant for most so what about the fear of impotence for men. If you keep smoking, eating burgers, drinking beer and not doing any exercise you’ll become impotent and your missus will run off with the postman.

What do you have to fear about being fat?

Being fat can cause diabetes

Being fat causes heart disease

Being fat makes you less attractive to the opposite sex

Being fat gives you less opportunities to reproduce

Being fat makes you sweat more (meaning you might smell)

Getting fatter means you’ll have to keep buying new clothes, you probably think thats a bonus if your a woman but what about when you have to start using a special shop for fat birds?
