In a culture that says bigger is better, it is subversive work to take tiny, lasting steps toward learning and growth.
In 12 Tiny Things Ellie Roscher and Heidi Barr journey with us through twelve essential areas of life: space, work, spirituality, food, style, nature, communication, home, sensuality, creativity, learning, and community. In each of these areas, we are invited to take one tiny action that is sure to open up growth and renewal.
12 Tiny Things guides us in curating a spiritual practice that promotes a more reflective, rooted, and intentional life. Regardless of how the ground feels underneath your feet, trust that there are roots there to tend. By trying on one tiny thing at a time, you can slowly, deliberately, and playfully remember who you are. You can nourish that being with tenderness. Together, we will reach and grow toward the sun.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wellness coach Barr (Woodland Manitou) and Roscher (Play Like a Girl), host of the Unlikely Conversations podcast, offer a host of doable ideas for building purposeful and healthy habits. The authors start with general guidelines and the goal of removing any pressure by reminding readers to be gentle with themselves and to own personal discomfort. They propose strategies for becoming more grounded through clearing clutter, abandoning self-centeredness, and building community, and provide "tiny thing tips" for 12 aspects of life—space, work, spirituality, food, nature, among others—including creating personal space by saying "no" more often, finding satisfaction at work by taking time each morning to engage in one's physical world, relishing food by preparing meals with mindfulness of where the ingredients came from and eating slowly, and pursuing learning through "committing to the first step." For Barr and Roscher, the key is to reframe a mindset of not having enough into seeing the opportunity for abundance. Each chapter also comes with a reflection, body practice, and "other voices" sections containing brief anecdotes attesting to the changes the authors suggest. Readers searching for simple ways of living more intentionally should take a look.
