The result can be procrastination, or even depression. Clinically depressed people often have goals that far exceed what they feel they can really accomplish. As a result, they often get stuck in a “paralysis of analysis” – finding themselves unable to initiate actions because they feel they need new skills or more information.

Fortunately, there is a great power in making small changes. Consider this sampling of findings from research on health and weight loss…

- Losing just a few pounds can have a significant impact on your health, even you remain obese.

- Small amounts of exercise (as little as a 10 minute rapid walk) can significantly boost your mood for several hours.

- Taking in just 150 fewer calories per day, about that found in one can of sugared soda, would lead to a loss of 15 pounds in one year.

- Among older Americans, a very modest weight lifting regimen can significantly reduce their risk of falls and fractures, while increasing their ability to climb stairs or carry groceries.

Small changes have big impacts in other areas of life as well. Want to write a book? Write a page a day, and you can be an author within a year. An hour a day studying a new topic can lead to considerable expertise in just a few months. Plastic surgeons bring about dramatic changes in appearance with very small changes in facial structure. If space shuttle’s trajectory is off by a fraction of a percent, it can end up being hundreds of miles from its destination. The list goes on.

So how do you leverage big power of small changes? Try these three techniques…

1. Revel in small changes. Instead of beating yourself for not having accomplished your big goals, feel good about small improvements.

If you want to lose weight, start with small lifestyle changes such as taking stairs instead of elevators, substituting a glass water for one soda each day, waiting 20 minutes before deciding you want “seconds” at dinner, or eating just one more serving of vegetables each day.

It may be all or none of those things. It may mean something else to you. But if you want to attract more prosperity and abundance into your life, no matter how you define them, then this articles outlines 5 key ways to do so.

1. Understand Attraction Law

This is better known as Law of Attraction, as defined by Abraham Hicks, states that "you attract whatever you give your attention and energy to, whether wanted or unwanted".

So, if you're curious about what you're putting out there, look at what you are attracting, visible results in your life. Knowing about and working with the Law of Attraction will help you in manifesting, creating and attracting more abundance and prosperity in your life. Once you understand it, there's no turning back.

2. You get what you focus on

One of key concepts in Law of Attraction is that you get what you focus on, whether that be money, relationships, employment etc). So when you focus on having less, that is experience you create for yourself.

Saying that "I hate my job" will just draw even more attention to aspects of job that you don't like. Even if you look for another job, it'll be with that negative energy.

Just wanting something isn't enough, because you will still continue to think about what you don't have. Always focusing on what you lack means that you don't see present and future opportunities, or begin to realise your true desires. You're getting in your own way!

3. Clear your head
