Small actions sometimes add up to big changes. One rolling pebble hits another and gets that moving, too. Pretty soon the whole hillside is full of rolling rocks. Healthy habits are like rocks on a hillside; the hardest part is getting them moving. To get your rocks moving, each day do something small:

• Feel gratitude for something in your life
• Eat a salad instead of a sandwich
• Get out for a walk
• Go to the gym (or a movement class)
• Go to bed early
• Get up when the alarm goes off (or before it does!)
• Wish joy on someone
• Put everything in its place before you go to bed or first thing in the morning
• Meditate for 5-10 minutes

For many of us, even a little progress feels good. That feeling will inspire us to make another good choice and we’ll keep doing this week after week. After 6 or 12 months of positive momentum and good choices, you might be amazed at how far you’ve come.
