Is there something in your life that you would like to change, but you're having trouble taking action? The answer ... start small.
Several weeks ago, I was chatting with a dear friend who listed several changes she wants in her life. The changes included new friends, a new perspective, and surmounting past demons that seemed to impact every area of her life. After a discussion on why she wants these changes, I asked, "Can I go from friend to coach for thirty seconds?" A little hesitant she said, "Well, sure...go ahead."
My words to her started like this...
Wow, it sounds like you've got some really big changes planned! And I understand that right now some of these changes seem beyond your control and that is frustrating and perhaps even paralyzing.
If you want to make big changes and are having trouble starting, pick one area of your life where you can impact change. Select something small and tangible ... a closet, your bedroom, the silverware drawer. Use that small area as a springboard for larger change. As you begin small changes life will begin to flow for you.
I believe to make a change is the hardest thing to do, but once you start making an impact in small areas of your life it gives you the confidence and foundation to make larger changes. When we start too big and lofty it is easy to become discouraged.
Make It Happen
This week choose to work on something small, something manageable...select change you know you can cause, that won't defeat you! Start small ... pick something tangible and watch the flow of your life begin to change.
Remember we create our own paths and taking action of any size creates our future.
