I've gotten into a new routine in the morning. I turn on my computer the moment I get out of bed, and sit down to write with a cup of coffee. It's nice to compose with a still foggy mind. I record dreams, impressions, agitations.
I love seeing how the issues I'm dealing with in waking life show up in dreamtime. Of course sometimes it's almost indecipherable, but this morning's dreamings were thinly veiled. I am in the middle of reading How One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer, PhD.
It's an easy read, and filled with inspiring examples of how the tiniest step can start us on our way to making changes that seem otherwise insurmountable.
It reminds me of the way we learn things in our karate school. Especially as white belts, we are shown and encouraged to break movements down into their smaller components. But Kaizen is about micromovement really.
One of the main tenants of Maurer's book is that our minds love simple questions. So I ask you this: what tiny step towards reading this book can you take today?
