You may be surprised at just how effective small changes can be in leading to big results.
Here are six reasons why you don’t have to start big to achieve big things.
- Big steps can seem overwhelming: Beginning your journey with small steps makes it is easier to get started. Since getting started on a big task usually seems to be the most difficult part, starting small will help you in the long run.
- Small goals are more attainable: While small goals may seem insignificant, they are also easier to achieve. Once you’ve started achieving small goals, you will be more motivated to continue.
- It’s gratifying to achieve many small accomplishments: A sense of accomplishment helps you feel better about yourself. This makes it easier to move on to the next step toward achieving all of your goals.
- Small things add up over time: If you accomplish one small goal 3-4 times a week, over the course of a month you will have reached an average of 14 mini goals. This is quite an accomplishment considering it all started with something that seemed insignificant at the time.
- It’s easier to procrastinate when it comes to difficult tasks: It’s much easier to put off doing tasks that seem too big and complicated. When something seems overwhelming, most of the time it just seems easier to not even try.
- It’s harder to make excuses for not doing small tasks: Starting with small steps makes it harder to justify putting them off. Knowing that you only have to put a few minutes towards reaching your goal gives you very little excuses for not doing it.
