"Micro Gardening" |
Each day as I head out, I walk down the footpath in front of my house. The weeds seem to grow several inches each night while I sleep. They seem to be saying, "Hey, if you leave us here, before you know it, we'll be 9 feet tall and we'll look like we were planted on purpose."
Oh. Time for a gardening micro movement.
Setting the timer, I began yanking weeds. Focusing completely on the dirt, shaking worms loose and removing all remnants of roots, I was startled by the timer as it went off in what seemed like 2 minutes, rather than the 10 I initially set.
I had made so much progress, I reset for another 10 and continued.
In time, the space will be cleared and now, as I walk by, I see I'm making progress, in small doable steps.
Today, find a spot that could use a bit of gardening (cleaning, weeding, clipping) and give it a few minutes of your time. See how it makes you feel.
