Children undergo the greatest changes of their life between the ages of 0-2. They learn more in the first two years of their life than any other point in their lives. Their brains are absorbing and changing at exponential rates.

Yet when we talk about making small, incremental changes, we say "baby steps." Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say "adult steps" because it's when we are adults that we face fear, habits, and stagnation in regards to creating new habits.

Maybe it's merely the size of the steps that we are referring to.  Sure the steps are small, but every step is deliberate and there is so much learning that happens with each inch.

One of the best pieces of advice I have heard for creating a new habit or learning a new skill is take your time. Take it slow. Do a few minutes a day. Add in only what you can handle regularly. And do it over and over again, however small.

Small doesn't mean insignificant.

Small changes yield big results.

Slow and steady wins the race.

What can you begin now, today, that is small enough that you can keep doing it?

Eat three carrots instead of a handful of potato chips?

Do the stairs on your way in to work?

Park at the back of the parking lot?

Do 20 squats to start the day?

Do high knees while you listen to your favorite song?

Nothing is insignificant.
