What is the next right-sized step?
In a world that can seem obsessed with the next big thing -
with being bolder, braver, and more courageous -
we can spend much of our time trying to summon the strength for our next big leap.
But then… what?
You leap.
You burn bright.
And then comes the adrenal crash.
The vulnerability hangover.
The tremble in your bones that says: What have I done?
So you pause.
You recover.
You gather yourself for the next heroic act.
And the cycle repeats.
But what if you didn’t have to keep proving your bravery?
What if you allowed yourself to take a step so small that no one but you noticed?
No fanfare. No “well done you.” No pats on the back.
Just a quiet shift in the direction of your truth.
Sometimes we do need the grand gesture.
The ten-year plan. The Phoenix moment.
But sometimes, the most powerful move is the one that doesn’t take from you.
The next right-sized step.
That’s the magick.
Not because it’s loud, big or bold
but because it’s yours and gently and kindly moves you in the direction of your truth.
