Making Tiny Habits

This week in class, we reviewed how things were going with everyone, which is still a mixed bag and healing and recovery. It had been several weeks since we had all been together and there was much to share about what we had been doing to stay on plan as well as what we were doing to get over our ills.

Once we exhausted our catching up, we settled in for a video I had come across that proved to very inspiring of all of us and I felt I wanted to share it with you. Sometimes we look at making lifestyle changes as overwhelming tasks to be faced. How to make all the food changes, how to avoid the wrong foods, to get in enough exercise, and the list goes on and on. Leaving us abandoning our good intentions under the weight of it all.

But this video gave us an insight that was much easier to stomach, it breaks down our big picture into small manageable steps and links them to things we already do. A way to add new behaviors into our lives in tiny steps that slip into our everyday activities and not turning our schedules upside down.  The video is 17 minute, not so much that you can't steal away the time, and hopefully you will be encouraged by it the way we were.




After chatting with a couple of ladies at church this morning we have been taking the video to heart. After arriving home that first night, I packed my gym bag, and one of the ladies is walking to the farthest bathroom every time she needs to use a facility. So we have already put this theory into practice. So watch the video and think about mini habits you can put in place in your own life.
