Small steps, Big changes, Part 2: Why do we want this? (Patreon)

Good morning! ☀️

Today, I'm continuing my series on taking small steps toward big changes. This week, I offer some prompts and considerations for the Why of it all. What are our motives? What are all the internal and external pressure points?

I use the same five examples from Part One as a through-line, to explore a range of possible motives.

Chapters:

• 0.00 Intro
• 02.41 When the reason is survival
• 03.37 Example 1 / Internal and external stressors, social scripts
• 06.23 Example 2 / Personal growth, interpersonal conflict
• 09.14 Example 3 / Shame, pressure or coercion
• 12.03 Example 4 / Logistical need, curiosity or jealousy
• 15.38 Example 5 / Ideology and principle, community, or dyad power dynamics and fear of relationship loss
• 20.06 Cautions: Quick fixes, all-or-nothing thinking, one-size-fits-all attitudes
• 24.33 Outro

Next week, part three will get into timeline and pacing. See you then!
