Appropriate action, no matter how small, results in change and growth. Change happens one step at a time. Our task is to keep taking these steps, however small, each and every day.

"Today I will do one thing" reminds us that our task is to keep taking these small steps even when we don't feel like it. One small step taken every day is progress. When we manage to accomplish even one small thing that we set out to do each day, we can feel we are making progress in our dual recovery.

We find that action often precedes motivation. When we go ahead and take a small step each day, our sure and steady foreword movement and growth motivates further recovery.
