One Step at a Time

Often times, we only see the big picture- whether it’s our work objectives, buying a house, or getting healthy. We can easily get overwhelmed when we see how far off in the distance our goals are, even to the point that we give up. These are the times we must be reminded that success comes by taking one step at a time, and there truly is no need to rush! Even the littlest step you take in the right direction is progress. The only way to get anywhere is by continuing to step in the right direction. Before you know it, you will be there! You may be surprised to get to your destination so fast, because you ended up enjoying the journey. As you adopt your new lifestyle changes and enjoy following those healthy habits, you stop fighting your own body for what it truly needs. Instead, you develop a peace and harmony between your lifestyle and what your body and mind truly crave.

One step for you may be to set aside just 5 minutes per day to be still and quiet. Those moments of peace can do wonders, especially when practiced everyday. Maybe your step is to practice deep breathing for 10 breaths everyday- this improves circulation and relaxation. Whatever your step may be, know that it is bringing you closer and closer to your goals. You may not achieve your ultimate health goals overnight, but having trackable and planned steps to follow each day can get you the body and mind you want. Rather than seeing how much further you need to go, look at how far you’ve come! Focus on each day’s steps, and your goals will be met.
