This is so true I am a bigger girl and for the longest time I was trying to do a walk everyday...well when I would sometimes I would start having sciatica pain and then id stop and just give up...recently I said to myself let's start smaller so I started going to physical therapy and got a lot of excersizes to help my sciatica and I made the goal to do at least 30 weighted squats a day...as long as I did that I felt accomplished...im still working on my sciatica pain but at least im getting in the habit of doing some form of exercise...and recently ive added arm curls 15 on each arm...this is the longest ive accomplished any form of exercise and im just taking it one day at a time...my goal now is to invest in a treadmill so once my back gets stronger I will make a goal of 3000 steps and with having a treadmill I will be able to walk no matter what the weather is outside...I sit most of the day but I know I can get at least 3000 steps because I was doing 4000 some days when I used to walk before the back pain....I havent given up on my goal of walking more but while I strengthen my back with my physical therapy exercises im still doing something...and getting into habits helps you reach goals...I want a lifestyle change one small step at a time
That’s such a powerful shift! The fact that you didn’t give up but instead found a way to adjust is huge. You’re proving to yourself that consistency matters more than perfection, and that’s inspiring. Keep going—you’re already winning.
Taking smaller steps and setting Micro goals have been helping me out a lot and I also wonder what you think about the idea of not too attached to certain goals or overly obsessing over something even if you want it badly? Could things flow to us easier if we aren't so infactuated by a specific outcome? 🤔
Yes! Micro steps is the way. We must stop setting such scary, big goals, and make them manageable for US!
For sure Grace! Way more achievable.

As long as you do the work, you reach your goals :)
That’s what it’s about Brandon!
Such a great breakdown and so much easier to manage without overwhelm
Indeed! Thanks for being here Vivienne!
