You might be in really good shape, and so going to the gym for 45 minutes for you is not that hard.

I, on the other hand, might be wildly out of shape, and going to the gym for 45 minutes would be way too hard.

I could never sustain it.

Exactly.

So it means what can I get myself to do?

And then consistently over time is how it starts to accumulate.

And then in the same direction is also important because you could hop on Instagram and by within an hour, you could have 10 new changes you think you need to make in your life.

And we can't make 10 changes.

We can make a couple at best, usually.

And so having the patience to say, like, I'm going to work on this.

This is the thing I'm going to work on.

And staying with it is how a little actually does become a lot.

Well, yeah.

And I don't think there's a one size fits all prescription for anybody on anything.

You know, this book is for people who have found themselves struggling to make changes.

If you can set a big, hairy, audacious goal and you can change your life overnight and you can just keep doing it, I would set this book down and I would keep going.

But for the rest of us,

This is an approach that works, but I agree with you because you're right.

We do things emotionally.

And one of the problems of little by little is you get into this long middle where not much is happening.
