When you don't have the energy to clean the whole house, just clean up the room you are in. Or maybe just make your bed. That one thing can make a huge difference.
If you can't afford to pay off all of your debts right away, pick the smallest outstanding bill and pay it. At least that one is now gone, and the "win" will feel empowering.
You may not be able to solve world hunger. But you can buy a meal for one homeless person or volunteer for a day at a soup kitchen.
If you want to run a marathon, but can't go a mile yet, just do one lap.
The point is to start. To do SOMETHING, even if you don't feel able to do everything. Where should you begin? Literally anywhere!!
Big goals and demands can feel daunting and overwhelming sometimes if you focus on the ending or big picture. But there is always something you CAN do. Focus your efforts on that and simply start. Once you are in motion, momentum can build, and one day at a time you will improve and grow. Progress is very inspiring, so you'll be surprised how motivated you will become once you have experienced even the smallest level of success. But it begins with taking the first step, no matter how small.
Do you have something in your life that you would like to change or accomplish that seems elusive and impossible? Think about ONE thing you CAN do today that starts you moving in that direction, even if it seems insignificant or like it won't make much impact. The biggest change will be in YOU. That you believed in yourself enough to start walking.
