Balance Your Brain With Big-Picture Dreams
Don't forget the tiny details that'll help get you there.
"Great acts are made up of small deeds." - Lao Tzu
With each of my big picture goals (getting a Master’s Degree as a school teacher, opening a yoga studio, building a nationwide yoga teaching business, creating an online mindfulness school), I did one simple mindfulness practice with my body every single day to keep myself in the big-picture-tiny-details mindset.
You see, big goals always start with the roots.
(the deeper your roots grow, the higher your branches reach)
🦶Your FEET🦶 (your roots) have nerves that teach your body about both the BIG PICTURE (the whole foot) and the TINY DETAILS (your toes).
Whenever I endeavor upon a new BIG BOLD AUDACIOUS PROJECT I use this simple mindfulness practice of working with my 🦶FEET🦶.
By doing this simple 1-minute exercise 2-3x a day (and whenever I feel overwhelmed) my body is able to tell my brain to balance the big picture with the tiny details. The overwhelm melts and I get a subtle flush of focus and clarity about what steps I need to take in what order. It works every single time.
