Taking small steps
In order to make any change in one’s life—whether it’s to get out of debt, become fit enough to run a marathon, or get on better with your family, start with a single change. It should be small; not a goal, but a tiny first step. It could be to run for ten minutes; to spend two minutes drawing; to prepare a healthy work lunch for one day a week. It could be to stay in hard conversations for a moment after you want to leave and spend that moment trying to listen.
