    Change, Consistency, Goal Setting, Weight Loss

    One of my friends and wellness clients sent me a link to a very simple mantra that's summed up nicely by the first couple lines:

    You can’t change your entire life.
    You can only change your next action.

    This falls right in line with the "Slight Edge" philosophy and is absolutely the way we all need to look at tackling any major challenge in our lives.

    Rather than reiterating the rest of this inspirational blog post from mnmlist, I'll just give it to you in its entirity.  I hope it makes bit of difference in some aspect of your life.

    mnmlist: the only thing you can change

    You can’t change your entire life.
    You can only change your next action.

    —

    You can’t change a relationship with a loved one.
    You can only change your next interaction.

    —

    You can’t change your entire job.
    You can only change your next task.

    —

    You can’t change your body composition.
    You can only change your next meal.

    —

    You can’t change your fitness level.
    You can only start moving.

    —

    You can’t declutter your entire life.
    You can only choose to get rid of one thing, right now.

    —

    You can’t eliminate your entire debt.
    You can only make one payment, or buy one less unnecessary item.

    —

    You can’t change the past, or control the future.
    You can only change what you’re doing right now.

    —

    You can’t change everything.
    You can only change one, small thing.
    And that’s all it takes.
