The Power of Taking the Next Best Step

The mind will often turn against you when you want to start something new, but it's important to not struggle for too long. Instead, take a break, leave the house without your phone, and go for a walk in your neighborhood. Then, lay out a simple plan to make it through the next hour without overwhelming yourself. The key is to focus on the next right step and avoid making a to-do list for the entire day, as it can lead to procrastination. By repeatedly asking yourself 'What is the next best step?' you can establish a meditation practice and move forward effectively.
