SUMMARY

In this episode, Markell reviews another part of The Stressless Practice (TSP) Series. She discusses the importance of starting small which will make it easier to be consistent. It's about setting a timer, working for a short time, and then moving on. It's not a project, it's a process and way of life. A habit to introduce into your routine.

KEY TOPICS:

• The power of focusing on one small space at a time
