Baby Steps

It's tempting to reach for a massive overhaul. To set huge goals and make big leaps. But for lasting change, which is the type of growth I'm interested in, it's small steps that will make a difference. Sustainable efforts.
It's Monday today. The start of a new week always feels like a good time to begin something. While I'm figuring out the changes and moves I really want to make, and the way to follow through with them, I thought I'd start with some small, tiny goals. These may seem silly, and they probably seem like things I should be doing already, but this is my makeover so... ;-p !!

My little list for this week and beyond is:

1. Take my dog Belle for a walk everyday that it's not raining.
2. Eat at least 3 portions of fruit/veg a day (yes, I know it should be five, but I barely manage one!).
3. Do some form of exercise 3 times this week (I can tell you now, this one shall be my Everest!).
4. Show up for my creative career goals each day (more on this later).
5. Floss!

6. Buy an over-the-door coat/hanger thing (one of my worst habits that I've identified is that I tend to 'dump' my clothes at the end of each day. It's a mini mountain by week's end that constantly does a daily commute between my chair and my bed. Time for the cycle to end!).

Five seemingly small habits to incorporate right there, but each of them would significantly improve things for me. As would my mini addition #6. And because I've put it 'out there' I get the feeling I might just follow through :-)

Will keep you posted!
