small moves toward meaningful change
Why tiny steps work
Small actions lower resistance and sidestep perfectionism, so you start sooner and keep going. Each completion delivers a quick reward, training attention and confidence. Over time, these repeatable wins accumulate into progress that feels steady rather than brittle. When the step is truly small, you can show up even on busy or low-energy days, which is the secret engine of consistency.
What to expect
The first week may feel uneven: some days glide, others stall. That is normal. Measure the process, not the outcome; a five-minute commitment counts. Expect to adjust your cue, trim your step, and edit your environment until it feels frictionless.
- Define one next action you can finish in 5 minutes.
- Attach it to an existing habit with a when–then cue.
- Track it visibly; celebrate completions with a breath or smile.
- Increase by 10% only when it feels effortless.
- After slips, restart at the smallest version without blame.
How it unfolds
Consistency multiplies; intensity arrives later. As evidence stacks up, identity shifts from “trying” to “I show up,” and small moves become a reliable way to change big things.
