A few quick examples for one of our top topics!
Small changes are easier to make and repeat than large changes. 1% is nearly nothing.
However, the compound effect takes over, so over time making a 1% change 100 times is far more significant than 100%.
To get you started, here are a few 1% changes that our Blackbelt Supermoms use during our 3-day challenge!
- Hydration – Start each day with a glass of water
- At least 8 ounces (I prefer 16)
- Choose a cup that motivates you (For me, it’s a Starbucks cup I received years ago for their Christmas season special)
- Pick a trigger to remind you in your morning routine
- Stretching – 1-minute at the end of each day
- Recommend picking one for first 90 days to help you master the habit
- Option 1: Shoulders / neck
- Option 2: Hamstrings
- Option 3: Hips
- Pick a trigger in your evening routine to remind you
- Recommend picking one for first 90 days to help you master the habit
- Mindfulness – 3 deep breaths
- In through nose, out through mouth
- For additional calming, hold briefly between in and out
- To induce sleep, pause between out and in
- To deepen the thought-reset (a.k.a. mindfulness), breathe in, then breathe a little deeper, before letting out all the air.
- Pick a trigger event to connect it to – morning, evening, or something else (for me it’s taking the dog outside, so I repeat several times a day!)
- In through nose, out through mouth
