Start small & recognize when you're ready enough

Can you remember the moment, when something in your now daily life was nerve wracking and new?

That weighty feeling when you first started in your current job?

That unsure feeling when you took your newborn baby to home?

When you saw your husband for the first time, on a sudden date?

The feeling of overwhelm with a full spectrum of emotions was flushing over you. 

And then there was that fear of you not being ready for what was about to unravel.

Going back in time might serve you now.

For when you're facing something brand new and scary, that reassurance of you being able to figure things out, is just gold.

And sometimes you and I might just fall asleep into that illustrated reality, where everything (and especially you) needs to be hundred percent ready before you take the first step to try it.

Yet in the real world we know what it takes to reserve the new territory for us.

It takes grit, curiosity, nerve, joy and the list goes on.

While fear would like to feed us with endless possibilities of bad endings, we just know in our gut that we are ready to take the step.

Sometimes to be able to start something new you're very afraid of can be found by a simple question.

What is the small yes I can say today?

And what is the big no, that I can say?

Recognizing things that try to steal your time, energy and other important resources is truly powerful.

After this week something totally new starts for me and my family.

But a few years back we started the journey, by saying one little yes after another.

What is your little yes today?
