Baby steps make a big difference.

Writer: Mike AckerMike Acker



I break big projects down into smaller bits. When I start to feel overwhelmed, I focus on small daily wins. I set modest goals that I know I can accomplish. I increase my confidence and build my motivation. Each victory inspires me to keep trying.

I treat myself with kindness and compassion. Change can be uncomfortable. New habits take time to reinforce. I am gentle with myself as I keep moving forward.

I make concrete plans. I identify my top priorities and align my actions with them.

I enhance my health and fitness. I buy exercise equipment I can use at home. I take a trial spin class online.

I strengthen my relationships. I do something kind for my partner, like cooking their favorite dinner or giving them a foot massage. I listen to a friend who is feeling burnt out.

I continue learning. I browse through the electronic resources at my local library. I practice playing a new song on the piano.

I advance my career. I listen attentively to my coworkers and look for ways to help them reach their goals. I ask for feedback on my performance.

I cultivate my spirituality. I meditate and pray before breakfast. I keep a journal to help me track my daily insights and resolutions.

Today, I make big progress a little at a time. I take baby steps that add up to giant strides forward.

Self-Reflection Questions:

  1. What is one new habit I want to develop?

  2. What happens when I push myself too hard?

  3. How can I keep my eye on the big picture while taking baby steps?
