Hi there,
Even the best-laid plans stumble. You might skip your micro intention for a few days and feel like you’re back to square one. The truth is, small lapses are part of any change process. What matters is how quickly you notice and reset.
A useful approach is to have a “fallback” version of each intention. If you normally walk 20 minutes at lunch but don’t have time, aim for just 5 minutes. That way, you stay in motion rather than quitting altogether. This helps you maintain momentum and prevents a missed day from becoming a missed week.
Try This Today
- Identify one micro intention you’ve found challenging.
- Create a fallback version—an easier action you’ll do if time is tight or you’re feeling low.
- Remind yourself that any forward movement counts.
Everyone hits bumps. The key is not to let small missteps derail the entire journey. With a fallback plan in place, you can get back on track faster and keep building on what you’ve already achieved.
