We’re almost at the end of February. Let’s be real for a second.
Did January feel powerful—full of “new year, new me” energy—while February felt like your goals quietly packed their bags and slipped out the back door?

A real reset creates the conditions where your body can actually function efficiently again. Sometimes, that means doing less—but doing it with more intention.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stop trying to climb the mountain. Just take one step. Choose ONE habit this week and commit to just 10 minutes:
That’s it.
Small daily actions create momentum. Momentum builds confidence. Confidence rebuilds discipline. You don’t need a dramatic, cinematic transformation today. You just need proof that you can show up for yourself.
