There was a period that I visited a chiropractor as often as people buy milk. I was sapped of energy and often in pain. It was around that time that I started to think about change as a series of minuscule adjustments rather than one sudden thing. It’s advice I’d often given others; tiny steps versus giant leaps. But we teach best what we most need to learn. Drink more water. Start the day with a cold shower. Wake up with the sun. Over time, tiny steps form giant leaps. “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” It’s a shame this quote is so cloying because it really is true. Adjust. That I can do. An adjustment is small and manageable. Change is inevitable, and whether it comes about as a positive or a negative is often down to the day to day adjustments that we do or do not make. I am the slowest moving tortoise, let’s call me a giant galápagos, but even the giant galápagos moves a couple of kilometers each day.
