#habits

You know what kills most habits? Going too big, too fast.

We think we need to run 5k to be a runner. Or meal prep 21 meals to eat healthy. Or meditate for 30 minutes to be mindful.

Nope.

The trick? Go atomic.
As in: so small it feels silly to skip.

• 1 push-up

• 1 veggie at lunch

• 1 minute of breathing

• 1 squat when your coffee brews

These micro-habits aren’t impressive. That’s the point. You’re teaching your brain, “Hey, I do this now.”

Small habits = easy wins = momentum.
And momentum beats motivation every time.

#minimalism

Minimalism isn’t just about having fewer things—it’s about making room for better ones.

When you shrink your habits down, something weird happens:
You lower resistance. And once that happens, you stop fighting with yourself.

Minimalism in fitness isn’t laziness. It’s strategy.
