It’s the little things

I’ve been putting off posting, waiting for a bigger thing to share. But that’s not what the cure is! It’s about the micro actions - the micro wins…

I listened to the fifth call, but I was barely into in and I had to stop because of one word.

Yet.

It made me stop and take stock. Where have I been using that? I KNOW I’ve been using it: prepping for when I get another reprimand at work, prepping for decreasing health, prepping for all the bad things that I seem to think are coming.

I finally was able to move past that point, listened to the whole call, and realized… I’ve quit asking the question. I’ve just been super focused on noticing and appreciating, totally dropped the other steps!

So…. What if life wasn’t always the worst? What if I started asking more questions? What if life was easy?

BOOM - I started releasing old e-mails at work . I’ve been tapping my desk at work and thinking ‘that was easy’. And I also suddenly find my weight has started shifting again - after a two month plateau. And I came to a decision about my community theatre group - I’m going to take to the stage again after a five year hiatus.

Add in the sixty second decisions - it’s made so many things easier! I’m getting my lesson plans done faster, my menu plans are less stressful, even just getting started on my physio. Just keep starting, make the choice - just DECIDE! (There is a voice in my head, I think it’s Will Smith, saying that last part.)

Anyways, I just want to remind you to keep asking questions, and to keep celebrating those little wins! It’s made such a difference to me in the past couple of days. And typing out these little wins makes me see that they really are bigger that I first thought.

All those micros keep adding up. The alarm isn’t being triggered, and I’m still winning!
