Small steps, every day

A few minutes a day. Numbers you can watch fall.

A Day 1 page filled in by hand: tallies of health thoughts, flips and checks
84 quick daily pages. Tally your health thoughts, flips and checks as you go. Three boxes, a few minutes, and a record you can see.
The Flip page: Notice, Assess, Flip, Thank
The Flip in four steps. Notice, Assess, Flip, Thank. About a second each, practised daily until it becomes your first move.
The Progress Wall with three hand-drawn lines over twelve weeks
Progress you can see. Plot your typical night, minutes moved and search-free days, with checkpoints on Day 28, 56 and 84.
The twelve weekly skills, from Notice to Keep It

Twelve weeks

One small skill a week.

Each week adds one skill to the last: spotting your triggers, dropping the search, easing off body checks, facing what you avoid, and keeping it going. You never have to do everything at once.

Written for the UK
