Baby Steps

Baby Steps is a kind of powerful tool that is small, easy to do and you can apply it into practice immediately after you have read. Even though the steps are small, but it really can help you to reach your big goals. Little by little you can make a big change. So below is a set of baby steps that I take from the book.
BABY STEPS
Keep Promises to Yourself
  1. Get  up when you planned to for 3 day in a row.
  2. Identify one easy task that needs to be done today, like putting in a batch of laundry, or reading a book for an English assignment. Decide when you will do it. Now, keep your word and get it done.
Do Random Acts of Service
  1. Sometime today, do a kind of anonymous deed, like writing a thank-you note, taking out of the trash, or making someone's bed.
  2. Look around and find something you can do to make a difference, like cleaning up a  park in your neighborhood, volunteering in a senior citizens center, or reading to someone who can't.

Be Gentle With Yourself

Being gentle with yourself mean forgive yourself when you are making mistakes and give youself time to grow in what you are doing. Don't expect to be a perfectionist. Make as many mistaks as you can, but learn from them, learn what went wrong and why. Make a mend if you have to then drop it and move on. Don't stay with the past, the past is just the past. Laugh at the stupid things you did and correct it later. As Whitney Houston put it: "Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all."
