Stay small
Monday, November 21, 2016There is beauty and strength in staying small.
Not in your ultimate.life.vision [NoNoNo! Keep that big, lovely people] I mean in the approach you take, to get there.
We tend to set great goals and then identify bold actions to achieve them. And that is brilliant. And important.
The smaller stuff can make a big difference too:
- Making eye contact with the person who makes your coffee
- Having flowers on your desk
- Taking a minute before you get out of bed, to consider your intentions for the day
- Expressing warmth in the emails you send
- Lifting your gaze
- Speaking politely to everyone, especially the people you love most
- Speaking kindly to yourself
When you consciously and consistently express your values in the small moments, you’re more easily able to access the person you really are, in the big moments.
