to tackle your goal in 'baby steps'.
Whether it's the:
washing up
pile of laundry waiting to be put away
mess in your cupboard
weight you want to lose
healthy changes to your diet
healthy changes to your lifestyle
painting
decluttering
business you want to begin.
Just begin.
Make one baby step towards that goal you want to reach.
You might set your timer for 10 mins. and work on one step for this time. You might start on one shelf. You might make one small change to your diet or lifestyle.
All it takes is one baby step, followed by another and another and another.
Work at your own pace, not the pace of the lady over the road.
I know. I've done it. It works.
Reward yourself for accomplishing these small, baby steps. Have a soak in the tub, read some of your book, go for a walk outside, have a rest, you deserve it.
Decluttering a whole cupboard might seem overwhelming. You might feel like you haven't got time. Just do one shelf. Tomorrow, do another shelf and the next day another. In a few days your whole cupboard will be tidy.
Remember:
"It is possible
to move a mountain
by carrying away small stones. "
Chinese Proverb
My small stones this weekend will be studying and decluttering.
Do you have any small stones that you'll be working on?
Wishing you health and happiness.

So very true.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteWe find ourselves at the computer at the same time again! xxoo
What is that saying, the longest journey begins with just one step? So true - and I've experienced that feeling of overwhelmedness that leads to procrastination! Have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Hope you have a great weekend too. xxoo
DeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteWhat timely advice for me. I have felt so what overwhelmed lately with organising the house and trying to exercise and eat healthy. I am certainly going to try and put into practice what you have blogged about today. Have a lovely weekend.

Good luck Hayley. Be kind to yourself. You're on the right track. xxoo
Deleteoops sorry one of the words should have read "somewhat"
ReplyDeleteHayley
I agree. I tend to get overwhelmed thus not doing anything but baby steps and timers always seem to help.
ReplyDeleteYes! xxoo
