Ten minutes. It’s not much is it? How much do you think you can achieve in ten minutes? I often think I can’t achieve much in that time, but that’s really very wrong. Ten minutes can be revolutionary. It can turn your life around. Let me explain.
I’ve had periods where I’ve stopped exercising and found myself in the usual tired, lethargic, self-loathing state many of us do. It’s really hard to snap out of this mentally, and physically. But I find that I can trick myself into starting something if it’s just 10 minutes.
I can get up ten minutes earlier and do some exercise. Either a short walk, or short work out. I specifically look for workout dvds that can be used in sections of ten or fifteen minutes for this very reason.
Once I’ve been doing that for a week or two, I can add in another ten minutes. A bit later I can add another ten, and look at what’s happened. I’ve found thirty minutes a day that I didn’t know I had!
I can adopt a new routine in ten minutes. When I needed a regular form of relaxation but didn’t have time, I looked for things I could do in ten minutes. We can all find ten minutes, right? As with exercise, I found some relaxation tools that went for five or ten minutes
And when I can’t work out how to start a big task, or feel overwhelmed by something, I can often do ten minutes of it. It’s like the old question: How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!
If you can find 10 minutes in your day and just do it, you can be well on your way to making great things happen.
