This article is dedicated to people who want to increase their confidence and self-esteem. It is short, but the examples it teaches from are powerful.
The 15 minute baby step is a practice you can use in a number of ways to add time to the activities in your daily schedule. In your life, it is easy sometimes to increase the time you spend involved in certain daily activities. For example, you have a hobby and it is you enjoy surfing the Internet. Your hobby can be anything else you would like. Let us say you spend one hour surfing the World Wide Web every day. To you, it takes little effort for you add thirty more minutes to the time you to use the World Wide Web, and so that is what you do. Now you surf an hour and a half a day on the Web, that was your goal.
Another area you decide to increase how much time you spend at is the place where you work. For instance, your boss wants you to add three hours to your work schedule. The present time you spend at work is five hours and you work five days a week. However, for you add it all at once will cause you a great deal of stress. Your boss and you discuss this matter and he says he realizes such a big change would decrease your productivity on the job. And you both agree it would be very difficult upon your mental and physical health. However, you talk to your employer about how you added small increments of fifteen to your daily Internet schedule until you increased your time from one hour to an hour and a half. So your boss and you agree for you to start this method today. You tell him how easy it was to increase your time on the Internet. You know it will be a harder task adding more time to your hours at work. A five day work week passes, and you have added an hour and a quarter to your previous weeks time 25 hours. You only have an hour and three quarters left to make it to your goal. Then after another week, you are almost finished and you only have a half an hour left to reach the additional three hour
objective and the total of eight hours daily.
You finally meet your goal after another week passes. You learn from this experience it is adding small increments of time to whatever activity you choose is a wise way of accomplishing the goal you set. In fact, you know your confidence has increased with you being involved in this process. You also know it will be only be a short time until you implement baby steps in your life again. But the next time you have decide rather than fifteen minutes, you will add thirty minutes a day to a daily activity.
