So, I noted during a particularly tough job from my new work, how important it is to put one foot in front of the other. This is a metaphor only slightly. Literally, when I am uncomfortable and struggling, I just need to put one foot in front of the other mentally. The small steps forward.

Setting aside the fact that you are generally not sure in favor of another small step.

This slow shuffling forward counts. It is the reminding yourself that each step forward counts and matters. This concept applies to adults just as much as it applies to kids or people in recovery. One day at a time. One step at a time. I am serious.
