Three things you can do TODAY to change your life
One of the reasons we don't take action in our lives is because our goals feel too big. We want to change our jobs, travel the world, leave a toxic relationship. Those all can feel really impossible to tackle. What if you could do one thing today that would set you in the right direction? It won't get you out of that job overnight, but it will put you closer than you were the day before. This bite-sized approach to real change focuses on small steps and wins that will start building your confidence and signal to the world that you are committed to moving forward. Make a commitment to yourself right now! YOU ARE READY! Do each of these actions at least once over the next four weeks and you will start to see changes! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
1. Set one goal This may sound like a no brainer but creating intentionality around goal setting is critical. What is one thing that would make the next four weeks feel like a success? Got it? Great. Write it down on a Post It and put it on your bathroom mirror. Each Sunday, pinpoint one action you can take toward meeting that goals. HINT: Make sure you are specific. If you goal is to spend
more time outdoors, get more specific. Commit to doing three outdoor activities this month. Don’t stop there! Research four options (the fourth gives you wiggle room) and put them on your calendar. This eliminates any excuses and will set you up for success.
2. Do one act of kindness
Any time I am feeling out of alignment or being hard on myself, my go-to is helping others. Whether you volunteer at a local soup kitchen, make dinner for an elderly neighbor or buy coffee for the person behind you, acts of service are the perfect way to get out of your head, put things into perspective and just feel good!

3. Reach out to one old friend or contact
Your community can make all the difference in getting unstuck and bringing more joy to your life. Reach out to an old friend or contact you lost touch with. Check out that meet up. Introducing or reintroducing new relationships is a great way to get change up your perspective. Surround yourself with people who genuinely want you to succeed. People who will tell you to keep going when you want to quit, who will let you vent when it gets hard and who will be there to celebrate the highs.
