One Small Step Back

Choose one thing you have been keeping away from and plan a first, small step.

Purpose: Choose one thing you have been keeping away from and plan a first, small step.

When to use: Use this when there is somewhere or something you have avoided and want to try again.

Worksheet prompts

  1. What is one thing you have been staying away from?
  2. What would the smallest possible version of it look like?
    So small it feels almost too easy.
  3. Plan that smallest version.
  4. How hard does that first step feel?

Small steps still count as steps. That is the whole point of them.
