Given that, she advises making it easier to begin your goal pursuit by accepting even a small step as an adequate start.
She suggests telling yourself, today is a good day for getting started.

There are times when setting ambitious goals and flying out of the starting gate can be helpful.
But when your schedule or your spirits means a fast start is not doable, accepting and celebrating even little steps can be a way of making some progress when you might not begin at all if the first step seemed daunting.

But the point is simply to do something today.
If most things get easier over time, then what you do today is helping toward your bigger goals.
As long as you choose to do something today, you can choose to do something on all the other todays.
But no need to worry worry about that just yet.
Just knowing today is good is fine.
In the meantime, this is Laura.
