Why Tiny Adjustments Beat Big Transformations?

Years ago, I was asked to sit still for an hour.

It was torture.
Numb legs.
Backache.
Sleep fighting to take over.
And thoughts dragging me in every direction.

I thought stillness was about “doing nothing.”
Turns out, it’s about making tiny inner adjustments.

And the funny thing is , that’s exactly how a space shuttle survives in orbit.

From a distance, it looks calm… effortlessly gliding above Earth.
But in reality, it’s constantly pushed off course,  by solar radiation, magnetic shifts, and tiny invisible forces.

Yet it stays steady.

Not through big, dramatic moves.
But through small thruster bursts - tiny course corrections that bring it back into alignment.

My journey was the same.

Micro-practices became my tiny rockets:
A slow breath between tasks.
A pause before reacting.
A moment to sense my body or surroundings.

These small adjustments didn’t remove the chaos.
They helped me stay on my orbit within the chaos,
with more calm, more clarity, and more progress.

The secret isn’t mastering silence.
It’s learning to realign  - one micro-practice at a time.
