Hey There 🙂
A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
Let’s face it, we all get so wrapped up in the big picture that sometimes we miss the little wins along the way. But those small victories? They add up, and they’re the real fuel that keeps us going. Whether it’s getting through a tough day without losing your cool or just finally finishing that project you’ve been procrastinating on, these moments matter more than you think.
Take a Minute this week to stop and recognize those wins. They’re what help you move forward when everything feels too damn heavy. Why wait to celebrate?
A COUPLE QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
When was the last time you gave yourself credit for something small but significant?
How can acknowledging small wins today help you build momentum for bigger goals tomorrow?
From Me to You: Big goals are important, but if you don’t take time to appreciate the small victories, you’re missing the best part of the ride. Every step forward, no matter how tiny, is progress. You don’t need to wait for some huge breakthrough to feel accomplished. Start giving yourself some credit right now for everything you’ve already done.
CHALLENGE FOR THE WEEK
This week, every time you check something off your list, no matter how small, take a second to give yourself a pat on the back. Whether it’s finishing a workout, sending that difficult email, or just keeping your cool in a stressful moment, celebrate the win. It might sound simple, but trust me, this habit builds some serious mental resilience.
Heads Up: Building mindfulness and self-compassion doesn’t happen overnight. Like working a muscle, it takes time and practice. Start with one minute, and over time, you’ll notice a shift in how you handle stress. The key is consistency.
WHAT’S NEW AROUND HERE
Next week, we’re diving into the idea of how small wins can lead to big changes over time. Think of it as laying the groundwork for a powerhouse of momentum.
Coming Soon: The Empowerment Toolkit is getting bigger and better with new worksheets, audio, and practical tools to help you master mindfulness and resilience.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
Last week, we talked about the importance of mindfulness and self-compassion in building mental strength. If you missed it, head over to the new Empowerment Weekly page, don’t forget to bookmark it:)
WORDS FROM THE CROWD
“Jenny” shared how embracing mindfulness helped her get through a chaotic week:
Summary:
“After reading about mindfulness, I decided to give it a try during one of my busiest days. Instead of letting my stress build, I took a few minutes to just breathe and center myself. It made a huge difference. I felt calmer, more focused, and managed to get through the day without feeling like I was spiraling.”
This story shows that even in the busiest moments, mindfulness gives you the power to stay grounded and in control.
“David” shared how practicing self-compassion helped him deal with a personal setback:
Summary:
“I’m usually my own worst critic, but after reading about self-compassion, I realized I needed to cut myself some slack. Last week, when things didn’t go as planned, instead of beating myself up, I treated myself with kindness. It didn’t fix everything, but it helped me bounce back quicker and with less frustration.”
His story reminds us that self-compassion isn’t about letting yourself off the hook, it’s about giving yourself the grace to move forward without carrying unnecessary guilt.
A Quick Note: Keep your stories coming! I love hearing them and talking with you. Whether it’s a small win or a major breakthrough, I want to celebrate with you.
LET’S DO THIS AGAIN NEXT WEEK
The big stuff will come, but for now, keep focusing on those little victories. Every step forward counts. Let’s keep pushing through, one small win at a time.
From My Heart To Yours,
