314. The 3 Small Habit Shifts That Changed My Energy, Focus, and CEO Mindset


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut — low on energy, scattered, or just... kinda over it all?

You're not alone, and today's episode is for you.

After hitting a few of those "blah" moments myself, I found three small (but powerful) habit shifts that helped me recharge my energy, refocus my mind, and rebuild my CEO mindset — without needing a 17-step system, a new planner, or a $5K mastermind. 🙃


And the best part?

You can start them this week. They're free, they're simple, and they work.

Today, I'm sharing:

  • A 30-Day Mini Habit Challenge to kickstart momentum (and how to actually stick with it)
  • How to make the boring, soul-sucking tasks way more enjoyable
  • The sneaky power of 10-minute "white space" breaks to reset your brain and boost creativity

If you’ve been running on fumes, stuck in hustle mode, or just craving a little more joy in your days, you're going to love these small but mighty shifts.

Your challenge: Pick one shift to start this week. DM me or tag me (@weddingsforreal) to let me know which one you’re trying — and don't forget to plan a reward for yourself when you nail it.

Episode Highlights:

  • [1:15] – Why small shifts > big overhauls
  • [4:09] – Habit Shift #1: The 30-Day Mini Habit Reset (and why it builds CEO confidence)
  • [13:44] – Habit Shift #2: Making hard tasks feel lighter and more enjoyable
  • [16:25] – Habit Shift #3: Why 10-minute white space breaks are your secret weapon
  • [20:32] – Quick recap and your action step for this week
