Just a Nudge

Neil deGrasse Tyson said recently that if an asteroid were on a collision course with Earth, you wouldn’t need to blow it up. Just a tiny nudge—a small adjustment in its path—would be enough to completely alter its course and avoid disaster entirely.

Now, let’s talk about you.

You’re juggling work, life, relationships, the holidays - feeling like you’re heading straight into overwhelm - I get it.

The truth is you don’t need a massive change to feel better. (Just watch the big New Year's Resolutions lead to annual, global disappointment 45 days in for proof.)

Just a nudge. One small shift in perspective, habit, or a single action. That tiny shift in how you think or act will put you on a path towards open skies, something completely different, something better.

What’s one small nudge you can make today to rewrite your story?

Small shifts will create huge results. And you’re a badass, so you've got this.

I had a pretty tough moment yesterday.

For about 20 minutes I felt sad that my Thanksgiving traditions are just never going to be a reality ever again. But I made a decision to let it slip away, with some grief, but also some relief.
No one, not even me, will be held to that standard again.

Holidays have a way of bringing up all the feelings.
But today is about you. Step back and reflect on your pov of yesterday, like an episode of a series.
✨ What story did yesterday unfold?
✨ What piece of that story do you want to keep
✨ Now, what’s ready to go?

Holidays can reveal so much about ourselves and give us such good stuff to work with to catapult growth, if we dare.

3-minute reset for growth:

1️⃣ Pause and just breathe.
2️⃣ Think of one moment yesterday that made you feel truly awake and alive. See it, feel it like you're there again.
3️⃣ What can you do today to recreate this feeling?

Take what nourished you and bring it into today. 🧡 Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

Me? I’m about to go for a walk on a chilly, cloudy day and leave my phone in the car.🚶‍♀️
