“Small wins on Monday compound into great victories by Friday.” – Marcus Dean TAKING ACTION: ✅What is one promise you can make and keep to yourself to start accruing small wins early in the week? Share what your one small goal is for today, and celebrate yourself below once you achieve it! Happy Monday, friends! We’re coming out of a mindset week, and as I mentioned yesterday, the work you did last week (and continue to do) will set you up for success this week as we participate in our monthly Feast Day and 24-Hour Fast. That’s how it works—what you do today sets you up for a better tomorrow. 💯 This concept is similar to the quote above: “Small wins on Monday compound into great victories by Friday.” Don’t wait until the middle of the week to start earning wins. Start today. It’s a new day, and a new week—the perfect opportunity to refocus and start anew. Your commitment and momentum today will carry you into the rest of the week, and quite literally will predict how the rest of your week plays out. 👉The only question is: What will you do with the opportunity you’ve been given today? Take some time to consider and answer this question, and remember, small wins today will compound and set you up to gain momentum this week. Let’s GO! 🔥

TAKING ACTION: ✅What is one “out of the box” self-care practice that you’re committed to? Share with me below. When we think of self-care, we often think of the things that allow us to temporarily check out of reality. When I ask others what their favorite forms of self-care are, I often hear things like 👇 🧘‍♀️ Mani/pedi appointments 🧘‍♀️ Coffee dates 🧘‍♀️ Facials 🧘‍♀️ Naps Don’t get me wrong, I love these things as well, and there’s no doubt they’re needed and appreciated sometimes; however, true self-care goes much deeper. Real self-care is creating a life that you feel like you don’t need a break from—a life where you enjoy doing things for yourself, but they aren’t your escape. As we discussed a couple of weeks ago, true self-care means doing things today that’ll set you up for a better tomorrow. ✨ We often think of compassion when we think of self-care, but I’d like to present a thought you’ve likely never thought about—compassion doesn’t always look like you think it does. Compassion isn’t always soothing. It doesn’t always sound nice. It isn’t always agreeable. True compassion looks like TRUTH because being truthful with yourself (and others) is the thing that will push you forward in your journey. The concept of self-care is similar. It isn’t taking the easy road. It’s taking the RIGHT road—the road that gives you a better future. 💯 Self-Care: 12 Ways to Take Better Care of Yourself | Psychology Today

TAKING ACTION: ✅Comment below and let me know if you’re practicing this week’s mindset strategies. If you want to believe in yourself, you must change your inner critic/voice. The strategies this week are simple ways to get started! When it comes to mindset and the brain, there are many ways in which to practice the work. It’s often nuanced, and there is so much information out there. Do this. Don’t do that. Try this. You get my point. Here is my advice—at some point, you have to stop consuming and start doing. 💯 If you continue to consume without taking action, you’ll end up overwhelmed and stuck. It’s similar to working out, cooking healthy meals, or anything else in life. You must take action if you want to improve. That’s why I have given you three actionable steps to take this week—so you can do some mindset work that will ultimately help you reach your health & wellness goals. Did you take action this week? You already know change takes effort. It doesn’t just happen. It’s up to you to make it happen, and I know you can do it. ⭐️ I challenge you to take 5-10 minutes today and practice all three strategies we discussed this week.
