RE: Why I don't tell my friends and family about Hive

Yeah, doing both is completely okay. The modification in behavior occurs subliminally and gradually.

There is a strategy. If you want your child to drink lesser coke, don't ask him to drink lesser coke. The thoughts of leaving something you love would make the task difficult. Instead ask him to drink more water. Consequently there would be lesser consumption of coke, unknowingly 😉
