Baby Steps

Changing behaviors can be tricky. It seems to me the most challenging piece is understanding that change is a process. We are so programmed for instant gratification in our culture and that belief can often sabotage the process.

If you ever have had the opportunity to watch a baby learn the art of walking you get to see process in action. They pull themselves up...fall down, then hang onto furniture...fall down, then push something...fall down, hold onto someones hand... reach for the next solid piece...fall down... You get the picture. They continue until they are taking a couple of steps together and then years later running a marathon. If they had given up after their first or second fall we would be living in a different world!

Be grateful for the small steps you are taking to move yourself in the direction you most want to go!
