Why the Small Stuff Works

The Wonder Countdown Challenge is over and if you followed it, you’re probably feeling better.

Small daily moments reminded you—again and again—that self-care is a choice.

Maybe you’ve now started drinking your water before coffee or walking for five quiet minutes after dinner. Maybe you texted someone you miss or took a moment to breathe before opening your laptop.

Those moments count. They always have. When life gets chaotic, the tiniest rituals anchor you.

Every small act of attention tells your body: I’ve got you.

So today, before you race through another to-do list, pause long enough to notice what’s shifted:

Do you feel a little lighter in the mornings?
Are you thinking about yourself with more kindness?
Has your pace softened, even a little?

That’s progress. 💛

✨ TRY THIS TODAY

Write down one thing that worked for you during the challenge.

It doesn’t have to be profound—just real.

(“I remembered to stretch.” “I slept well.” “I didn’t skip breakfast.”)

Use this to continue to guide you as this year winds down.

The Wonder Countdown Challenge is over. I’d love to hear your experience with it. And look out for more to come…

That’s not just relief; it’s dopamine. Your brain’s reward system was designed to encourage behavior that keeps you alive and well. But in the modern world, it’s been hijacked—by notifications, constant...

*The Science of Small Wins

Build Strength. Reignite Your Spark. Live with Age 36 Energy. Join The Wonderfulness Community The Science of Small Wins You’ve probably heard people say that “small changes add up” and figured it was just a cliché. Not so. Research actually shows that micro-adjustments — tiny, consistent actions — can reshape both your brain and your body’s stress response. When you take small, intentional actions (like drinking water before coffee or standing to stretch between emails), you’re doing more...

*End the Year on Your Own Terms

Build Strength. Reignite Your Spark. Live with Age 36 Energy. Join The Wonderfulness Community 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...
