Daily blog (audio): Tricky Dicky should've carried on saying "No" [I am not a crook]

<p>Tricky Dicky should've carried on saying "No" [I am not a crook]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>On August 9th 1974, Richard Nixon became the first (and only so far) U.S. President to resign from office.</p> <p>Making Gerald Ford the 9th Vice President to take over (the previous 8 had been due to death – history lesson here for you).</p> <p>It’s referenced in the “We didn’t start the fire” song I covered in yesterday’s blog.</p> <p>Tricky Dicky (as Nixon was known) was, of course, jumping before he was pushed.</p> <p>The impending impeachment after the Watergate Scandal.</p> <p>His involvement in, and attempts to cover up, the June 17th 1972 break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate Office Building in Washington DC.</p> <p>A lesser know fact is that this break-in wasn’t Nixon’s idea.</p> <p>It was bought to him by members of the Committee for the Re-Election of the President (CRP).</p> <p>Initially as part of a larger, even more dodgy plan.</p> <p>Which was refused.</p> <p>Over two months the CRP returned with ever smaller plans until it was agreed.</p> <p>He, and others involved, later said that if they had been presented with the final plans initially, they never would’ve agreed to them.</p> <p>The repeated reduction from the original made them seem much smaller and less of an issue.</p> <p>As many things can be.</p> <p>It’s all context.</p> <p>The difference from a frame of reference which is entirely in our own heads.</p> <p>We only see healthy eating as boring and restrictive when it’s framed as a massive change from what we’re doing now.</p> <p>When someone has come to us with the equivalent of a huge, complicated plan………….</p> <p>We might do it for a few days…………</p> <p>And then find “It’s all too much”.</p> <p>When we could just make a number a relatively subtle changes to how we eat to create that
