It could be 10 seconds, 1 minute, or 10 minutes.    The point is: - It’s an action—something you do. - That action is very small, something that feels easy and simple. - It moves you in the direction you want to go. - It's an easy win—which gives you the confidence boost to do more good for yourself. **How to do it** Pick an action that might have a positive impact on health and well-being right now.   Some examples: - Cut up some carrots for a later snack. - Do five minutes of foam rolling. - Slowly enjoy a mug of tea. You can also get a little more strategic, and pick an action—maybe even one to commit to daily—to support a larger goal. For example, maybe your ultimate goal is to get back into the habit of eating mostly home-cooked meals. ![Blog images (2)](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20images%20(2).png?width=567&height=324&name=Blog%20images%20(2).png) Take ONE small action in support of your bigger, future goal. That might mean making a grocery list, looking up some recipes, or chopping up a few vegetables. It can be tough to get motivated, but here’s a secret: *It’s action that drives motivation, not the other way around.*   When you do a small thing to improve your circumstances, this actually inspires you to do more things.    Now you’re no longer “waiting to get motivated.” You’re creating your own motivation. ###### Tags: [mindset,](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/blog/tag/mindset) [motivation,](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/blog/tag/motivation) [wellness](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/blog/tag/wellness) ![Team Natural Wellness](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logos%20(1)-2.png?width=50&height=50&name=Logos%20(1)-2.png) Post by [Team Natural Wellness](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/blog/author/team-natural-wellness) Feb 6, 2024 9:32:59 AM ### Comments [![Team Natural Wellness](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/hs-fs/hubfs/**NWPT.png?width=83&height=90&name=**NWPT.png)](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com) - [Home](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com) - [About Us](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/-about-us) - [Free Resources](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/free-resources) - [Services](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/services) - [Blog](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/blog) - [Events](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/services/events-workshops) - [Contact](https://go.teamnaturalwellness.com/contact) **Natural Wellness Physiotherapy ** (316) 290-9158 309 S.
