Are you a busy person who wishes you could resist more? Start where you are and take one step forward. Choose a schedule you can keep and commit to one five minute act of resistance.

What’s key is this: do just a little more than you were doing.

Are you a busy person who wishes you could do more? We have a clear philosophy: start where you are and take one step forward.

What’s key is this: it should be a little more (or in addition to) what you’ve done.
