Smallest Possible Motion

How do you manage stress?

“Start small enough to succeed, then let momentum do the heavy lifting.”

Open the document.  
Not the whole life. 
Just the document.

Write one sentence. 
A bad one is fine. 
Bad is movement.

Wash one dish. 
The sink does not need 
your whole biography.

Begin 
where the resistance is smallest. 
That is enough.

The trick is tiny: 
begin before the mood arrives.

“Motivation is unreliable; a small beginning is not.”
