This is a simple concept that was brought back to my attention in reading The Power of Small. Change is scary to us. In fact, the fear of change is very natural. The structure of our brain that governs the fight or flight response sounds the alarm whenever we want to make a departure from our safe, usual routines. If we take small steps to bring about change in our lives, we can fool this part of our brain (the amygdala) into believing no real change is taking place.
So what is it you want to change in your life today? Whatever it is, let me encouarge you to take a baby step in that direction today, tomorrow and the next day.
