Episode 5 - It's the Small Things
About this episode
In this episode of An Incomplete Guide to Personal Growth, Sydney and Kelly use a microscope to take a look at small things. You know that's not it, we just take a look at the role small things play in personal growth.
- Kelly fesses up to an ethical dilemma that she didn't handle well.
- What do we mean by small things.
- Small things can reset us and give us a lift.
- Small actions build upon other small actions.
- A pebble in the shoe can bring great discomfort.
- The messages you give yourself point the direction you are headed.
Reflection/Action: Do something small for someone...let a car merge, send a quick text to a friend or family member, play the piano for 5 minute, stand outside in the sun's warmth for 5 minutes...something small
Notice when someone does something small for you and how it makes you feel.
