Big goals are exciting. But they’re also intimidating. The fastest way to stall is trying to do too much, too soon.

Instead, aim for Minimum Viable Progress — the smallest possible action that moves you forward. It builds momentum. And momentum builds identity.

Examples:

• Fitness: Can’t do your full workout? Do one set.

• Nutrition: Can’t prep the whole meal? Chop one ingredient.

• Mindset: Can’t journal for 10 minutes? Write one sentence.

The win isn’t the size of the action. The win is showing up.

Consistency beats intensity when it comes to aging well.

A recent review of long-term studies found that even low-dose physical activity, done consistently, contributes to healthier aging — particularly for cognitive function. That means short walks, a few sets of resistance training, or stretching daily could preserve your brain longer than you think.

The takeaway?

Start small. Stick with it. Live longer.
