Small Steps
A journey of a thousand miles begins with
a single step.

I'm trying out two new possible habits this week.
The first is
intended to get me moving throughout the day instead of sitting glued
to my computer while my brain turns to mush. It's also intended to
keep me focused and energized. I've set a timer for 30 minutes and
when it goes off, I get up and walk around the house, the office or
take a quick walk outside. It doesn't take long. Maybe 1-2 minutes
and 100 steps each time, but it's been fun and easy. I always return
to my work with renewed energy. You could walk a flight of stairs or
up & down the hallway or even march in place for 100 steps.
The
second thing I'm trying is a walking meeting. Instead of sitting at a
table discussing business, talk as you walk. I've been thinking about
it for months now and I just completed my first one. Of course, not
all meetings would fit well with this format and it will take me some
time to retrain my habitual response to meeting inside and sitting
down.
How often can you take a walking break this week?
