"Big change doesn't begin with a grand gesture - it starts with one small act of self-kindness, repeated often.” - Rebecca Ann

Tiny Habits, Big Shifts

If you're navigating midlife, grief, a big change, or a just plain ol' "what the heck am I doing with my life" season, let me offer a bit of hope - it's the tiny things that move the needle. Yep, I'm talking mini habits, small shifts, and micro-moments of momentum.


Let's talk about how tiny really is mighty.

Why Tiny Habits Matter (Especially in Midlife)

Here's the thing: when your brain feels like mush, your to-do list is giving you side-eye, and you're still wearing the same bra from Tuesday..... big changes feel impossible.

That's where tiny habits come in. Small, repeatable actions done daily (or almost daily - because life happens, right?) can create HUGE moment over time. Think of them as life's little dominoes. One knocks over the next, and suddenly, you're doing the thing you never thought you could.

And midlife? It's the perfect time for a reset - just not an extreme one. Tiny tweaks, big shifts. That's the vibe.

Real Talk: What a "Tiny Habit" Actually Looks Like

When I say "tiny," I mean tiny.

We're not talking "run a marathon" or "remodel the kitchen."

We're talking:

  • Drink a glass of water before your morning coffee

  • Light a candle to signal the end of the day

  • Make your bed (even if you climb back in later - no judgement)

  • Walk to the letterbox instead of scrolling in bed

  • Swap the wine for a herbal tea just one night this week

That's it. Start there. Build trust with yourself again. And then...... you do one more... And one more.

The Myth of the Overhaul (And Why It's Keeping You Stuck)

Somewhere along the line, we bought into this idea that transformation has to be dramatic. Like full-on "move to Bali, get a new name, start a YouTube channel" levels of change.

But for most of us, especially when we're grieving or rebuilding, that idea is just exhausting.

Tiny habits lower the pressure. They meet you where you're at. And they gently pull you forward, one doable step at a time.

Final Pep Talk (You Know I Had To)

You're not lazy. You're not behind. You're just human - and probably very tired.

So today, try one tiny thing.

Drink the water. Light the candle. Text that friend.

That's where your comeback begins.

You've got this.

And I'm right here, cheering you on in mismatched socks with my own cup of noni juice in hand!
