For your consideration…
I laughed out loud when today’s message came in. The message was exactly this, “Just take that first step.” Immediately, I then heard my mom say, “Watch that step, it’s a doozy.”
The hardest part is often getting started. We need to suck it up, be brave, and just take the first step. Many times we then wonder, “What took us so long?” We may even think, “That wasn’t so bad. Yeah, I can do this.” Also, we feel accomplished when we just start what we dreaded or put off doing.
We are reminded today to just take that first step. Don’t overthink it. Don’t worry if it is exactly right or not. Just take a step. If that is as far as we get today, that is ok. Tomorrow we can take another step.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths. It will clear our heads and motivate us.
-Take a step, get started with something we keep putting off.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Finished the Christmas decorating.
-Started gift wrapping….my favorite part.
-Catching up with Lori, Alex and Jackie.
-A good book.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
