Dallas Bragg tells people struggling with meth addiction to stop thinking about big change and start with tiny, concrete wins. Write one sentence. Take a five-minute walk. Turn your phone off for ten minutes. Do it, then do it again. That's how you prove to yourself you can change.
All right, so here's the real value behind the phrase just for today. You are not going to see change in your life until you see the evidence of what you aspire to be. I can tell you until I'm blue in the face that you are confident, you are capable, and you are worthy of abstinence from meth. My words mean nothing until you see tangible proof. And how do you find the evidence? Today, right now, set a tiny goal. Maybe it's write one sentence in your journal or take a 5-minute walk. Turn your phone off for 10 minutes. Set a small goal, reach it, and then anchor the hell out of it. Celebrate it. You are capable of following through on your word. You are worthy of success because you just met your goal. Maybe it was small, but you met it. Really capitalize on this and stop giving your time and energy into failures. Even if you just used meth last night, so what? See the evidence of your capabilities in small goals and then build each day. Start just for today.
