Tossly is about personal change, not business or organizational change.

Though many of the terms used are similar, in business getting something done right, on time and with the support of others is critical, and you measure, or are measured, by what you accomplish.

You structure your “steps” to achieve in coordination with the team, there are bosses and workers and coaches and players, etc.

Personal change is less structured. It’s finding the best path for you, instead of the group or for a market niche.

Sometimes people want to change using the business models of faster, more structured, getting everybody’s input, satisfy others, and sometimes it works. But it also can become an unseen source of pressure and frustration that ultimately inhibits personal change.

Seeing that personal change is different than business or organizational change can make you better at both.

It’s a small step that opens large paths…

… to engage our desire to be better; fast and easy.

… to sell us things and ideas, and add drama to stories.

… would be great if they were true.

But the truth is, overnight success, amazing results and like never before, all come from, and lead to, small steps.

And small steps can be used to effectively guide your personal change to success and results like never before.

How are you using small steps?

… what you’ve always dreamed of, are afraid of, or what you’ve been putting off, than by taking small steps. They also work with anything you want to slow down, or speed up.

Here the recipe …

1. Imagine what it is you want to do. Just pick one step to begin.

2. Give it prominence physically or in writing. Like putting your running shoes by the door, or writing ideas where you will see them.

3. Give the step time to become visible. It might not be what you first imagine (like running shoes might change to a yoga mat, or maybe you’ll draw a design or add color).

4. Take the step.

5. Celebrate you took (even the smallest) step. Smiling to yourself will suffice – add any additional celebration that feels good.

6. Ask yourself what’s the next step? More of the same or something different?

Repeat 1-6.

Doing is key to personal change … and there is no better way to start.

… Happens between challenges and opportunities, and loss and gain.

As we move forward, in the moment and over time, we are called on to avoid and overcome one, and recognize and connect with the other.

Making choosing a key player, of progress to personal change…

… That which connects action to perseverance.

What is, doesn’t have to be.

What was, doesn’t necessarily predict the future.

What you haven’t had, can become what you have.

Personal change is the process.

Personal imagination primes the pump.

Worry to Calm. Bad to Good. Good to Great.

Imagine your steps to future reality…

Putting palms together, at moments of stress and celebration, creates benefits.

In sequence or by themselves, with eyes open or closed, at the right time …

Hands at Heart: Be thankful for the wonder and humanity we all share.

Hands at Forehead: Be thankful for hearing questions and listening to answers.

Hands at Mouth: Be thankful for the ability to connect and communicate with others.

Repeat, as remembered, as necessary, to build benefits…

The power of prayer and visualization is always in your hands.

Healthy and rich come in many areas …

In spirituality, physical condition, emotional connections, family and friends, adventure, finances, quiet, thinking, home life and being of service to others.

Recognizing the areas you’re rich and healthy, when you’re poor in others, is sometimes crucial.

That’s how building one area, supports building in others, and seeing health and richness in many areas, then turns them into abundance.

Option are always with us. To find the best ones, you …

1. Ask questions … and listen to answers (for better focus write them down).

2. Imagine … see what could be without limit (there is limitless in the small and big).

3. Allow stimulation … don’t block options (how it might it work comes before it won’t work).

Then: size options to personal flow, pick the ones that feel best, and take steps in their direction.

Repeat above…

There are always options … and finding them is a key step in moving forward.

In starting small … thinking big … and ramping up, the thinking big calls for imagination.

The notion of “can’t“, “haven’t” or “have to” are best acknowledged, then minimized.

Imagine what could “be”.

Keep doing small and imagining big so that possibility moves past pressure.

Imagining is what makes the ramp appear …

… both in pursuing new heights and recovering from falls.
