Happiness Hack #65 – One Small Step at a Time
Accomplish One Small Thing
Sometimes the chaos of life can be overwhelming. It seems like our to-do list gets longer instead of shorter every day and each project we complete seems to lead to two more projects. It can be sad and frustrating just thinking about everything that has to be done.
The secret is to step back and pause. Pick one small thing you can accomplish. Fold the laundry, clean a room, or write a list of next steps for your next big project. Find something small you can accomplish in less than 15 minutes and get that one thing done. Getting one small thing done will give you that little bit of confidence and sense of accomplishing something so that you can find that next small step. We all have mountains to climb, and we can’t jump from the bottom to the top. We have to take one small step at a time.
Find something small you can feel good about accomplishing in a short period of time and then build from there. You will feel happier and be more successful.
