Good Morning everyone! Hope you had a healthy and happy holiday weekend! Back in action and rounding up the month with a productive day ahead! When you take on great challenges, do you think those challenges require big actions? The truth is that in order to achieve goals and take on great challenges, it requires not necessarily big actions but actions period. Tackling big challenges require actually smaller actions but smaller actions that are practiced day in and day out! One large action is much smaller than several mini actions that are practiced on a regular basis. As people think about what challenge (s) they want to face, it is common for people to get overwhelmed by the thoughts of the big actions that need to take place. If someone is looking to start eating healthier, they may think oh my gosh I need to never eat chocolate again, there goes my latte, etc. No, that is not necessarily true. Rather than taking those larger actions, take small actions daily. Start by cutting out the mayo from your tuna salad. That simple small action, practiced day in and day out, will actually do more for you than big actions that may be setting you up for failure. Start small, start with smaller actions but just start.
You may want to have it all and have it all now so are willing or think you are willing to go big or go home but in reality, start small. Sacrificing everything can cause frustration and burn out. Find some small action that you can start today and do daily. Rather than trying to do everything at once, start by doing one thing at a time but doing that one thing consistently. Rather than thinking about ALL the big actions you have to take to reach your goals, focus your mind on the smaller actions that you are willing to do every day! Small actions practiced day in and day out lead to reaching big challenges! May 31st, go after it, focused and ready to take on a new month! What will June bring…?
