Sore.

I had a great discussion today with one of my clients about changing habits. She told me all of the great things that she’d like to do…never eat treats, only eat whole grains, fill her diet with tons of fruits and vegetables, and so on. We then talked about where she’d come from, and the small changes she’d made along the way that have made a big difference. Because she’d made these small changes, one at a time. It didn’t seem like much. The changes seemed like her normal lifestyle to her now. The more we talked about it the more she realized what great progress she’d made, and how it isn’t an overnight transformation. She still has a progress to make, but don’t we all. It was a great reminder to me that we can’t change every bad habit we have all at once. However, we can change little things at a time, and over time those little things will make a big difference. Pick something small that you can change this week. Once you’ve mastered that, and it’s become a part of your lifestyle, change something else. It may not seem like you’re making tons of progress all at once, but in the grand scheme of things you’re making vast changes that will manifest themselves in your progress. Keep on keepin’ on.
