So if you have taken one small step and it is becoming a new habit, well done (say that to yourself in whatever way works for you).If you've been getting off the bus one stop away from your office and walking a bit further than usual, well done. If you made time to phone someone for a chat and then phoned someone esle for another chat another day,well done. If you tidied up one part of your desk at the end of each day, well done. These small changes quickly become habits and then you can select another small step which will take you just a bit closer to the life you'd really like.
Some people are very ambitious and find small steps frustrating so the size of the change you want to make is negotiable. But if your life had stalled and you were very stuck, beware of choosing something which really is too difficult at this time. You don't want to set out to do something unless you can do it until you've reconnected with your self confidence.
Be creative about the stpes you choose, be creative and suit yourself. What works for me might not work for you so although clients often ask me what they should do, as a coach my answers will usually be questions. Questions to help the person make their own choices in their own time so they are living their own life
