I can do it

I have been reading for ages and trying hard to fly in so many areas of my life, but I had an a-ha moment this afternoon. If I can do anything for 15 minutes, then I should be able to do ANYTHING for five minutes. So today I set a goal of running around my backyard, blessing my heart and releasing body clutter for just 5 minutes. I hate running, but I can do ANYTHING for five minutes, so today I ran. I ran for 4 1/2 minutes before my legs gave out and the need for a proper sports bra meant I had to stop, but I did it! I did it! And I am so proud of myself for doing it. Tomorrow I CAN run for 5 minutes, and maybe the day after it might be 5 1/2. I didn't get fat overnight, and I am not going to become more slender overnight. But I don't have to. All I have to do is run for 5 minutes. And I can do that.
