Small Steps 01/27/2008

As I was running on the treadmill earlier this week, (I simply can't drum up the courage for outdoor exercise when the temperature is in the single digits) my mind drifted off to thoughts of my early "running career" (actually "endurance jogging career" may be a more appropriate way to describe it). Five years ago, a latecomer to running, I laced up my squeaky, shiny-white, expensive running shoes and stepped on the treadmill for the first time determined to start running....and I DID IT...I RAN...about a tenth of a mile!!!! Prior to this my exercise routine had been reduced climbing the stairs to my second floor apartment. I was committed, kept at it, and eventually much to my joy and delight began running outdoors. Five months later I completed my first half-marathon. I was hooked.

There is a point to this, my reminiscing led me to think about the power of small steps. Those first very small strides on the treadmill led to big changes in my life...my weight, health, self-esteem, and mood all improved.

We all have areas we want to grow in....work, play, spirituality. Small actions are the start of big change. I encourage you to think about an area of your life that you would like to improve. What do you want for yourself in that area? How can you take better care of yourself in that area? What small steps can you take to create the life you want?

So here is my challenge for you: What step can you take today?

"We can handle anything when we exchange our worries and fears for alertness and spontaneity, when we focus solely on what is in front of us, and when we leap into the sheer wonder of the unplanned life." Karen Maezen Miller, author Momma Zen
