One Small Adjustment Author: Kathy Gates
I know that a lot of advice pundits often instruct you to focus on the “big picture”. And it certainly has it place in helping you move toward a better life. But it runs the risk of letting you think that you need to totally redesign your life. And that’s just not true! Often it only takes one small adjustment to make things so much easier, better, and happier in your life. Try instead to focus on the details, and the big picture will take care of itself.
For example, I have a water hose that I use to water my garden. This particular one happens to be at the far end of my concrete patio, where it hangs on a hanger mounted to the wall of the house. The problem is that where the hose and the concrete meet becomes a nesting ground for every blown leaf, stick, or piece of trash in my yard. After using the hose one day, I decided to make one small adjustment – I wound the hose back up so that the bottom of it was about 2 inches off the ground.
Just one small adjustment took away completely one large headache. And that certainly helps me live a happier, easier, better life.
Life’s made up of small things – small frustrations –- like that. What if – instead – you tried focusing on the small adjustments you could make for a seemingly overwhelming problems of your life?
Sometimes a small adjustment with a big pay off comes from making a small change what you require of yourself. For example, you might decide that you will make a small adjustment by requiring yourself to make sure the kitchen is clean before you go to bed at night. Or you might decide that you will no longer purchase anything that you can’t pay cash for. Perhaps you will decide to stop laying the junk mail on the kitchen table, and instead will go through it instantly. These are all small adjustments in what you require of yourself, yet, like my water hose problem, they can eliminate those big drains on your energy.
Sometimes a small adjustment comes in the form of simply asking for what you need, instead of accepting things “as they are”. Years ago when I worked “for others”, I had an office chair that had been used for years. It had lost its padding, its construction was outdated, and it had even become hard to roll around. When I realized that I spent an enormous amount of my daily precious energy fighting that chair, I simply went to my boss and told him that I was uncomfortable and I need a new chair. “Of course”, he said, and I had a new chair within a week
A small adjustment in your routine can have a big pay off. Make it a point to do just one thing different each day, and just see what happens in that space. Try driving to work with the radio off. Try going to bed 15 minutes earlier. Try bringing home fresh flowers from the grocery story each week. Try paying your bills at the same time every week. A friend of mine goes to work 30 minutes early on Wednesdays, and pays her bills at her desk. She said that she used to just do it “whenever”, and it seemed like 2 or 3 weeks would pass before she even thought about it. This way, she stays current, and always feels in control of her financial picture. A small adjustment in her routine helps her out in a big way.
Small adjustments can be achieved in many ways, both physical and mental, in actions, requests, or ideas. A small adjustment might be required in extending a boundary, or setting a new one, by changing your attitude, by choosing a different action. Small adjustments can be beneficial in just about any area of your life where you are struggling – organization, time, space, clutter management, relationships, or finances.
Look for all the small adjustments in your life that can bring you very big results. Maybe it’s just sewing a seam in those baggy pants so that they fit better. Who knows? Just one small adjustment can have very big results.
