The Small Steps Project

The Small Steps Podcast will now be a weekly podcast, starting from January 25 for the next episode 😊

The long term impact of our habits will have an impact on the quality of our lives. Poor habits will have a negative impact; good habits will enrich both our physical and mental health.

There are many people who do things for us that we are grateful for, yet we rarely take the time to thanks them. Start making the effort to express gratitude to those who provide us with our wants and needs.

It’s the simple things in life that we take for granted that would be what we would miss the most if we couldn’t do them.

Community health and fitness programmes, such as the free Summer Series running and walking events in Masterton, are a great way to help you on your fitness journey.

Our next step to getting better will result from reflecting on the questions: what am I doing right, and; what isn’t working for me?

Trying to live up to the social media highlight reels of others is a sure fire means of impacting negatively on our self worth and self esteem.

We need to think ahead with our decisions and actions of today to see how they will impact people in the years to follow.

Ask yourself these three key questions to achieve the seven most important goals.

There are so many habits that will add value to our lives if we take the opportunity to apply then. This post shares a favourite habit of James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits.

If the decluttering process is too daunting, start smaller, perhaps with your car, or even just the car glovebox. @theminimalists

Where we are today is the result of decisions that we have made in the past and the actions that have resulted from these decisions.

Night school and weekend courses at community colleges and learning centres are a great way of upskilling in a huge range of areas, from crafts to small business management.

Sometimes when restrictions are placed upon us we are then able to look for and appreciate new activities and experiences that we wouldn’t normally do. #lessismore

We need to look at the pathway from intention to accomplishment, overcoming the resistance that can be so powerful in preventing us from achieving our goals and dreams. #thewarofart

Helping others doesn’t need to be hugely grand gestures; the help we provide can be relative to where we are in our own lives. Every little thing counts, so no contribution is too small.

You will be a lot more likely to achieve a goal when it’s backed by with an intention implementation plan.

Ambitious New Year resolutions are great to have, and can be achieved if we take the small and consistent steps to make them happen.

We have a values gap in society, where so many vocations and skills are undervalued, especially physical ones that lead to tangible products and outcomes. It’s time for a values reset to get the balance right.

We need to prioritise the things that really matter in our lives, especially spending time with those who truly matter. #whatreallymatters

Three steps that will considerably increase your chances of successfully achieving your New Year resolutions #newyearresolutionsuccess #smallsteps

Loving the process, as opposed to getting satisfaction just from the achievement of the goal, is a much better pathway to happiness @jamesclear #atomichabits

We can’t always do it on our own; sometimes we need the support of others. Be prepared to both ask for support when you need it, and to offer support to those who might need a hand up. #supportothers

We can learn a lot in surprising places, with one example being a chapter I read from The Revenge of Analog on the demise and rebirth of the physical film industry. #innovation #analogfilm

Board games are a great way to bring people together. Despite being analog, they’re both timeless and fun! #boardgames #boardgamesgeek #therevengeofanalog

Change your life by focusing on just one area to start with, building momentum that will lead to significant all round positive change in all areas of your life. #minimalism #smallsteps #leobabauta

We spend too much time worrying about what others think; we should instead base our opinions on our own experiences, as opposed to the thoughts and opinions of others.

Question things

We can do incredible things!

When not to compare yourself against yourself

Some things take hard work!

Do something you suck at everyday!

Show up everyday

Do something for nothing

Do something about it

Take action and use feedback to get better

Do the work!

Start the day by winning the morning

Put it out there!

Stick to your positive routines during the tough times

Working incredibly hard and saving can give you freedom

External validation isn’t needed

Is happiness a choice?

How to make a better city

How to change your story

Small things matter
