Last week I offered 3 concrete ways to overcoming resistance, and keep working and creating. Here’s one more.

Tiny. Tiny. Then Share.
Take the very smallest action that allows for you to learn a new skill. Show one person what you did. Then rinse and repeat.

Why this approach? You get to start, explore, and make incremental progress without awakening resistance. And it works for all kinds of skill-building, professional and personal.

Here's how it’s looking for me the past week. Watercolor studies. 4” x 4”. Yep, about the size of a post it.

Why is this relevant? It’s all about paying attention to your attention, and trying something new—first, in a low-stakes way, so you build up your courage and muscle for higher-stakes moments of putting yourself out there.

Keep it lean, and simple. As for me, the paints were around from my son’s art lessons. Watercolor has an easy set up and clean up. I’m working with a simple set of 12 paints and 2 brushes, on watercolor paper trimmed to 4” square, and in 15 minutes a day.

I look forward to it, especially discovering how to make a spacious world on tiny paper.

I’m inspired and clear-headed when I swish the brush clean at the end of my session. When I return to my clients words + ideas, the editing feels easy and deft.

So what is your "Tiny. Tiny. Then Share” project waiting to happen?
What have you been eyeing, or inkling to explore, or learn?
How could you scale the project down, so it feels tiny enough to be welcoming?
Then, what is one first step you could take to start today?

To your tiny adventure.
P.S.: Next week, I’m unveiling new changes to my site, and a newly-focused On Point package that I’m excited to share with you.
