17. No time for your dreams? Then do this.


You want things to change in your life.

​

You have so many plans in your head, in your heart, in your every fibre…you can practically feel them! You’ve seen them happening and unfolding in your mind so many times that it’s like they’ve already happened.

​

Except they haven’t.

​

Because it feels like there is just so much to do and no time to do it in. You're busy enough as it is. How on earth can you possibly squeeze anything else into your day? Your month? Your year?
​

I’ll tell you how.

​

Just do 1%.

​

What does that mean, exactly?

​

Whatever it is you want to do - do 1% of it. Start small. Take the smallest step towards doing the big thing.

​

This is do-able. This you have time for.
​

How much is 1%?

Excellent question. Why, it’s 14.4 minutes of your day!
​

If your idea of ‘living the dream’ is simply having time to yourself to do nothing - blissful, right? - then do that for 14.4 minutes to start with. (I’d suggest rounding it up to 15. 😉)

​

Use 1% of your day to do something that will bring you closer to what you want to achieve.

​

Start that online course.

Begin planning that adventure abroad.

Start that website.

Write that first paragraph of your book.

Fill out that application form.

Join the gym.​
​

Start to see the value in taking aligned action, no matter how small, that moves you towards your dreams, your visions. Towards getting what you deeply want (but maybe keep putting on the back-burner?).

​
Once you do the 1%, you will realise that it’s very ‘doable’ to do things in small steps. This idea that you don’t have time will start to change - and so will the idea that you need to do it ALL in one go.

​

By doing the 1%, you will be stoking those embers that have been quietly glowing for so long. I promise you, you will be starting up the energy of motivation, drive and hunger to keep going for what you truly want. And it all starts with 14.4 minutes.

​

Over time this might turn into 2%, 5%, 10%...50%...or you might just stay at 1%. And it’s all good.
​

Stop thinking you have to do 100%.

​

And start by doing 1%. 14.4 minutes of your day to focus on the thing you want most.

​

So, what are you waiting for?

​

Go, right now, and decide what your 1% of today will be spent on for YOUR desires. And I'd love to know what you decide! Hit reply and let me know what dream you will start dedicating 1% of your day to!

The End…or the Beginning? My dearest readers. I’m going to start by being straight up and telling you that this is going to be my last newsletter of Small Changes, BIG Impact. Maybe just for a little while. Or maybe forever. I’m not yet sure at this point but that’s okay because I don’t need to make that decision at this very moment. Time will tell! Why, you wonder? Let me explain. (There is an insight in this newsletter so keep reading. There is something for you to gain here. Just because...

We are a week away from the Spring Equinox and do you know what Spring brings with it? Yes, yes, warmer weather and more sunshine but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about Spring Cleaning! When it comes to mental health, did you know that physical cleaning and decluttering can have a huge positive impact? And THIS is why decluttering is such a great thing to make a part of your spring season! What Clutter Can Do To Your Life We all know that clutter is annoying. And it looks...

You Are Worth Celebrating As I write this, it’s International Women’s Day! So to all the women reading this, I hope you celebrate yourself full out today…and always! And to all the men reading this, I hope you celebrate the wonderful women in your life too! Celebrating oneself is definitely something many people struggle with – and that goes for men AND women. Many people feel they aren’t worthy. They don’t deserve to be celebrated. They aren’t quite there ‘yet’. They often have a thought...
