Monday Motivation

You Don’t Need to Change Everything at Once


Listen Later

In this Mother & Daughter Monday Motivation, Cindy and Sophie talk about something so many of us struggle with — trying to change everything at once and then feeling overwhelmed when it doesn’t stick.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that real, lasting change doesn’t come from doing more…

It comes from doing less, consistently.

We explore:

  • Why all-or-nothing thinking keeps people stuck

  • The power of choosing one habit at a time

  • How focusing on just 30 days can change everything

  • Why habit stacking works — and burnout doesn’t

  • How 12 small habits in a year can quietly transform your life

    If you’re feeling pressure to “sort it all out,” this episode will help you slow down, refocus, and trust your own pace.

    🧭 Action Steps (Try This After Listening)

    1️⃣ Choose ONE habit

    Ask yourself: What is one small habit that would make life feel easier right now?
    Not the perfect habit — just the most supportive one.

    2️⃣ Commit for 30 days

    Focus only on this habit for the next month.
    No adding more. No pressure to be perfect.

    3️⃣ Make it easy

    Choose something so small it feels almost too simple:

    • A 10-minute walk

    • Drinking one extra glass of water

    • Five minutes of journalling

    • An earlier bedtime by 15 minutes

      4️⃣ Track it gently

      Tick it off in a journal or notes app — not to judge yourself, but to build trust with yourself.

      5️⃣ Stack the next habit

      Once this habit feels natural, then choose the next one.
      One habit per month = 12 new habits in a year.

      💛 Listener Reminder

      You’re not behind.

      You’re not failing.
      You’re learning to grow in a kinder, more sustainable way.
