Small Plates

Well-being is realized by small steps, but is truly no small thing.

The smallest plate on the rack weighs a pound and a quarter. Add two of them a month and you have added thirty pounds to a lift in a year, without a single session that felt heroic.

Nothing about that process feels like progress while it happens. That is exactly why it works — it never asks for more than you can repeat.

Today's challenge: Add the smallest possible increment to one lift today instead of the one you were tempted by.
