Micromovements
MICROMOVEMENTS
Tiny Little Baby Steps By SARK
Micromovements are tiny, tiny little steps you can take towards completions of your life.
I'm a recovering procrastinator and perfectionist and I have a short attention span, so I invented Micromovements as a method of completing projects in time spans of 5 minutes or less. I always feel like I can handle almost anything for 5 minutes!
Here's an example of a project that can sit on a list for months or even years.
Procrastinators are great mental rehearsers. They can clean the closet in their mind dozens of times without any actual movement!
and then, there can be no failure! Or success……
Here's an example of a micromovement:
After completing this micromovement, you simply choose another gentle, small step.
It is important to use dates and times as a guidance system. It is equally important not to tyrannize yourself with the chosen time. If the time comes, and you simply cannot make a move, gently assign yourself another date and time.
I like the gentleness and "allowance" of this. We are always so hard on ourselves for perceived transgressions - this is a refreshing way of saying we shoudl step back and be kinder and gentler with ourselves which will eventually lead to the achievement of the goals we have set for ourselves by taking tiny steps towards them. I LOVE SARK!!!!!
