Overloaded inboxes, old files, and cloud storage full of notes, documents, relationships, and beliefs from the past are poor stewards of our present and future. Be they good or bad holding on to “old files” are traps we create for ourselves literally and figuratively that keep us from looking ahead and moving forward.

Taking small steps toward something isn't sexy but it is progress and when taken one at a time they start to add up. One of the things that keep us from taking even a single step away from where we want to leave to where we want to go are the self-sabotaging thoughts we tell ourselves that our seemly small inconsequential movement can't make the difference. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. shows how we can begin to put an end to the personal mental assault we launched on our own conscience by taking action – one step at a time.
