When in Doubt, Do Something Stupid: Life Change and the Intolerance of Triviality

What prevents people from making change in their lives? Most are tempted to say that it's a lack of motivation. But often the problem is TOO MUCH motivation. People want to make big changes that they can't sustain. The solution may be to scale down to something so small as to seem trivial or foolish: walking one block, eating one salad, refusing one request, turning down one drink. Great dams collapse due to all-but-invisible cracks. Our intolerance of triviality, however, may hide the path forward from us.
