8: 1% Wins

1% better.

When your brain is distressed, change can feel next to impossible.

It's easy to feel stuck. No options. No choices.

When you are in this place, aim for 1% wins.

Make your workday 1% better: wear you favorite shoes, bring in your favorite snack, or treat yourself to mid-day neck stretches.

Make your evening 1% better: skip the laundry, put on your favorite show, or take a warm bath.

Make your connection with your honey 1% better: snuggle up on the couch, talk about something other than the kids, or share a piece of cake.

We don't have to make everything better all at once to feel better.

When we are stuck, 1% wins are actually the very best place to be.

They are small enough that the brain won't resist.

They seem doable.

You'll have instant wins. TODAY.

And over time, 1% wins each day create massive wins overall.

This concept was shared by the brilliant Martha Beck, Kara Loewentheil, and Candice Toone.
