Changing a relationship or circumstance does not require a big action. It is not necessary to demand or push yourself or others towards a better relationship. A small action or inaction that is different from the normal response creates a chain reaction that can lead to bigger things. It could be as simple as going to the left when you usually go to the right; it’s a simple change that can generate a new more restful reaction. 

Questions to consider:

How does the change make you feel? How do those around you react to the change? Does it increase conversation in a positive way?
