Hi there,
Knowing you’re on autopilot is one thing; doing something about it is another. Often, people jump straight into big changes and struggle to keep up. The alternative is to go small—really small—so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Start by choosing one part of your day to transform intentionally. For example, in the morning, instead of rolling out of bed and checking emails right away, decide on a simple 30-second pause to breathe and set an intention: “Today, I’ll prioritize meaningful work over busy work.” That short moment rewires your perspective before the day’s rush begins.
Try This Today
- Pick a time of day (morning or lunch break).
- Create a micro ritual—a deep breath, a small affirmation, or a quick journal note.
- Stick to this daily for a week and see how it shifts your outlook.
This approach isn’t flashy, but it’s effective. When you master small intentional changes, you gain the confidence to tackle bigger ones. In the long run, you’ll find yourself becoming more deliberate in everything you do, from work decisions to personal hobbies.
