Good morning! As we enjoy family time and a bit of break from the “usual” schedule with Thanksgiving weekend, here’s a quick tip for any of you who may be realizing you’re wanting to change something in your life.
Perhaps it’s what you or your kids are consuming, both literally and figuratively (something Rachelle and I have been talking about).
Or something in your own health, habits, or work.
Or maybe something new you want to bring into your relationships or life.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed or to start seeing ourselves in the “gap” as Dr. Benjamin Hardy mentions in his books (he even wrote a whole book about this called The Gap and The Gain).
One practice I’ve found tremendously helpful whenever I want to change something — or am feeling that icky or overwhelming feeling of not measuring up and being in the “gap” — is simply this:
Take a little step today.
Whether it’s taking a moment to crack open an uplifting or empowering book and read a few minutes before going on to something else, listening to 10 minutes of a podcast on a topic you want to improve before turning on the tunes, or adding a bit of fresh apple or celery to your meal or snack without feeling bad that you haven’t overhauled your whole diet yet, taking a little step can “break the ice” and start some momentum in a new direction.
Plus it puts you back in “the gain” as Dr. Hardy calls it — where you’re feeling progress and even a small “win” in an area that you’re wanting to grow in your life.
Then just start stacking those little steps and they will compound over time.
This can apply to taking a walk before sitting down to pie, or sitting down for a chat to express appreciation to someone you love, too. Or taking that 2 minutes of selfcare to enjoy your LumiSpa or microcurrent massage with your RenuSpa (also called the WellSpa internationally).
What’s a “little step” you can take today in something that matters to you?
Decide and see it in your mind even if it’s not something you can do this instant.
Then take that step and pat yourself on the back when you do it today.
Enjoy, and blessings on your weekend!
