Let’s talk about the pressure to do it all, all at once. It’s everywhere, right? But here’s the truth: you don’t need to overhaul your entire life in one go to make meaningful progress. Baby steps count, and they add up in a big way.
When I was deep in the trenches of new parenthood and grief, I felt like I couldn’t get ahead. My to-do list was miles long, and I didn’t have the energy to tackle it. Then, a friend gave me the best advice: just do one thing. Clean one drawer. Drink one glass of water. Write one sentence in your journal. It felt almost laughable at first—how could something so small make a difference? But it did. Each tiny step gave me a little more hope, a little more momentum.
Starting small isn’t a cop-out; it’s a strategy. It’s about building habits and confidence in a way that feels manageable. So, what’s one tiny thing you can do today? Maybe it’s spending two minutes tidying up, or texting a friend you’ve been meaning to check in with, or even just taking a deep breath.
This week, give yourself permission to start small. Baby steps are still steps forward. And every step, no matter how tiny, is worth celebrating.
