The First Step
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the journey… it’s the “first step”.
Not because you don’t want change.
Not because you don’t care.
But because your nervous system has learned to equate “new” with “unsafe.”So you overthink.
You wait for clarity.
You tell yourself you’ll start when you feel more confident, more ready, more certain.But confidence usually doesn’t come “before” the first step.
It comes “because” you took it.If you’re standing at the beginning of something right now—healing, a new habit, a hard conversation, a dream you’ve postponed—let me offer you this:
You don’t have to take the whole bridge today.
You only have to take “one plank”.One phone call.
One honest sentence.
One application.
One walk around the block.
One boundary.
One “I’m ready to take a step again.”And if all you can do today is choose the next small right thing… that counts. That’s how momentum is made. That’s how hope becomes real.
You’re invited to begin—even imperfectly.
The second step is waiting for you on the other side of the first.
