THE POWER OF A MINI-HABIT
Think tiny, not huge: We often get stuck because our goals feel too big. We tell ourselves we'll exercise for an hour every day or meditate for 30 minutes. But what if the secret to change isn’t a huge effort, but a tiny one? Small, consistent habits build momentum and are much easier to stick with. Think of it as a low-pressure way to build a healthier you.
The 'Two-Minute Rule: When you want to start a new habit, scale it down to two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read just one page. Want to meditate? Meditate for 60 seconds. Want to stretch? Do one simple stretch. The goal is to make it so easy you can't say no. Then, over time, you can grow the habit.
Mindful Minis
Water, before Coffee
Before you grab a coffee, drink a full glass of water. This tiny shift can improve your energy levels and hydration, setting a positive tone for the rest of your day.
Timed & Focused
Use your phone's built-in timer to manage your tasks. Set a 25-minute timer for a focused work session, followed by a 5-minute break. This simple method can boost your focus and reduce burnout.
Calf Micro Movement
As you're standing in line or waiting for the elevator, do a simple calf raise. This micro-movement is a small way to get your blood flowing without a major workout.
