Tired of me yet? Just kidding . . . I know we can do this 45 days together and feel better about the outlook of our 2016 so here goes #2!
Lesson #2:
When in doubt, just take the next small step.
Boy can I associate with this one. How often do we set ourselves up to fail because we set the goals too high, too far, too fast?
I have plenty of doubt, especially when trying something new. Someone once told me that if I would “lower” my expectations, I wouldn’t be constantly disappointed. This applies to me personally, to my ex (when we were married), my children, my friends, my hobbies, my job – you name it.
But should we have to lower our expectations?
You/We/I need a strong foundation, Rome wasn’t built in a day. If we’re going to achieve something, then maybe we need to break it down into small manageable steps. After all, don’t most weight loss programs tell you one pound at a time?
You don’t immediately start a free weight exercise with a 20 pound weight without working up to it. You don’t run a marathon if you’ve never even run a single mile.
Small steps – that’s going to be my aim for making changes in my life this year. Manageable and measurable – reminding myself to just take the next small step.
Eventually – you are/we are/I am gonna get there. See you tomorrow!
