Small and Simple Things

I gave a talk in church earlier this year and referenced scripture that said" through small and simple things, great things come to pass" Little did I realize that this would become my motto.  The past few weeks I have been making small and simple changes.  Two thin mints rather than the serving size of four.  I get my sweet fix and don't miss the extra two.  Waking up at 6:30 and by 6:50 reading a little in bed.  After drying my hair mediating for 5 minutes.  After getting home from work, changing, listening to a pod cast and setting a timer for 10 minutes to walk one direction and then turn around and head back.  I will gradually add 1 minute. 5 small garden boxes rather than one large garden.  These are all small very simple changes that are producing huge benefits in my happiness and well being.  I have always been a go big or go home type of person, yielding very little in the way of result and commitment.  Go big is so overwhelming.  Small and simple is so doable and easily repeated.  I feel such a sense of accomplishment and the beginnings of a direction in my life.  It's a great feeling.
