The Smallest First Step.
My second-grade teacher, Ms. Edson, told us: If something feels too hard to do, it just means that the first step isn’t small enough. So often when we’re struggling, we tell ourselves that it’s a sign that we’re broken or that something is our fault, and then we freeze. But when something is too hard in the moment, tell yourself Ms. Edson’s advice.

When we Step 1 - Step Back in our Good Decision Making - we start with the easiest thing to do: Being Selfish.
Doing Nothing.
Ignoring a compelling task: the decision before us.
Unless we’ve to real issues - this step should be easy, achievable, and give us enormous satisfaction.
It’s the decision making equivalent of Making Your Bed.
