End the Year on Your Own Terms

It’s the first week of December, and I bet your brain’s already juggling shopping lists, travel plans, and approximately 47 open tabs labeled “Do Before January.”

It’s a lot. And it’s easy to reach the finish line feeling frazzled instead of fulfilled.

So this year, I’m inviting you to do something radically gentle—to end the year with small wins that actually fill you back up.

Because honestly, you’re not always looking for a transformation. Sometimes you just don’t want to move backward.

You don’t have to finish strong. You just have to finish present. 💛

✨ Introducing: The Wonder Countdown Challenge

10 days. 10 micro-wins. Zero pressure.

Each day, you’ll do one small act of Wonderfulness—simple shifts that remind your body and brain you’re still in charge of your calm.

A few examples:

  • Hydrate before coffee ☕
  • Take a 5-minute walk after a meal 🚶‍♀️
  • Text someone your gratitude 💌
  • Write down one win from the day ✨

That’s it—no pressure, no perfection. Just ten tiny ways to reclaim your time, energy, and joy before the year ends.

🌼 The Wonder Countdown Challenge is open to everyone.

You’ll get prompts, inspiration, and encouragement regularly on Instagram (@themarcibowman).

But if you’d like to go a little deeper…

Join The Wonderfulness Community Why Your Nervous System Loves Predictability You know that quiet sense of satisfaction you get after finishing a task—closing your laptop, taking a walk, or checking something off your list? That’s not just relief; it’s dopamine. Your brain’s reward system was designed to encourage behavior that keeps you alive and well.
