10 Ways to Do Your Future Self a Favor

10 Ways to Do Your Future Self a Favor

No hay comentarios

Helping out future you is an underrated act of self-care, like leaving tiny surprises that make life less stressful. But let’s be real, most of the time we treat future us like an afterthought. We say yes to plans we don’t actually want, leave the mess for “later,” and assume we’ll magically wake up tomorrow with motivation, energy, and the answers to life’s biggest questions. Spoiler: we won’t.

So, here are 10 simple ways to take care of your future self, because no one else will do it for you.

1. Say No to Things That Will Steal Your Time

If it already feels like too much when you say yes, imagine how it will feel when the time actually comes. Protect your energy. Decline things that don’t fit into your schedule, your priorities, or your capacity. Future you will thank you when you have that extra time for yourself instead of drowning in obligations.

💡 Pro tip: If saying no is hard, try “I’d love to, but I don’t have the bandwidth right now.” Works like a charm.

2. Tidy Up When You Can, So You Don’t Regret It Later

Future you does not want to come home to a disaster. And let's be honest, past you had no respect for future you when they left that pile of clothes on the chair. Take a few minutes to clean up when you have the energy, so tomorrow feels like a fresh start instead of an overwhelming mess.

💡 Pro tip: If you’re not in the mood to clean, set a 5-minute timer and see what you can get done. Usually, you’ll just keep going.

3. Move Your Body—Even Just a Little

Exercise isn’t about punishing yourself for what you ate. It’s about taking care of future you, the one who doesn’t want to feel stiff, sluggish, or regretful. Even a short walk or stretching makes a difference.

💡 Pro tip: Don’t think of it as a workout, think of it as a favor to yourself in 10 years.

4. Eat in a Way That Helps You, Not Hurts You

No, you don’t have to go on a strict meal plan or quit everything fun. But fueling your body well now means you’ll have more energy later. Make it easy for future you: keep good options around, drink more water, and eat food that makes you feel good.

💡 Pro tip: Think long-term. Small changes make the biggest impact.

5. Schedule Those Annoying Doctor’s Appointments

You know what’s worse than going to the doctor? Ignoring something until it becomes a big problem. Take care of the small things now, whether it’s a check-up, a dentist appointment, or just getting that lingering issue checked.

💡 Pro tip: Book it as soon as you think about it. Future you deserves peace of mind.

6. Decide What YOU Want, So Others Don’t Decide For You

If you don’t know what you want, other people’s opinions, expectations, and priorities will take over. Spend time figuring out what’s important to you -your goals, your values, your vision- so that when life throws options at you, you can choose for yourself.

💡 Pro tip: Write it down. Even if it’s messy. Clarity starts there.

7. Notice What You Can Improve

Life is a work in progress. If something keeps frustrating you, notice it. Maybe your routine needs tweaking. Maybe your time management isn’t working. Maybe you need to communicate better. The sooner you acknowledge what can be improved, the sooner future you can benefit from those changes.

💡 Pro tip: Instead of being hard on yourself, just ask: “What would make this easier next time?”

8. Get Enough Sleep—Seriously

We’ve all been there. One more episode. One more scroll. One more thing to check. And then, next thing you know, future you is exhausted, grumpy, and living off coffee. The best gift you can give yourself? Rest.

💡 Pro tip: Start winding down earlier than you think you need to. You’ll never regret a good night’s sleep.

9. Plan Ahead (Just a Little)

Not saying you have to have a 5-year plan, but preparing even a little bit makes life so much easier. Whether it’s laying out your clothes the night before, prepping meals, or just knowing what tomorrow looks like, future you will be grateful.

💡 Pro tip: Write a to-do list before bed. It clears your mind and sets you up for a smoother day.

10. Treat Yourself Like Someone You Love

At the end of the day, everything on this list comes down to self-respect. If you wouldn’t want your best friend to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on fumes, why would you let yourself live that way?

💡 Pro tip: Be kinder to yourself. Future you is counting on you.

Future You is in Your Hands

The life you want doesn’t magically appear, it’s built by the small, everyday choices you make. Every time you take care of yourself, set a boundary, or clean up something small, you’re making life easier for the person you’ll be tomorrow, next month, or even years from now.

So, what’s one thing you can do today to help future you? Tell me in the comments! 💡✨

Personal Branding for Business Owners: Why You Are Your Brand

Personal Branding for Business Owners: Why You Are Your Brand

No hay comentarios

Let’s be honest. People don’t just buy products or services. They buy from people they trust. If you run a business, whether you like it or not, you are your brand.

The way you show up, the things you say (or don’t say), the vibe you bring, it all matters. It’s the difference between being just another option and being the obvious choice for the right people. And no, you don’t need to be an influencer, overshare your life, or post every single day to build a strong personal brand. You just need clarity, consistency, and authenticity. Plus, a little bit of strategy, because let’s be real, vibes alone don’t pay the bills.

Personal Branding is More Than Just Aesthetics

Having a nice logo and a curated Instagram feed is great, but that’s not what makes people trust you. Your personal brand is about:

✔ Who you are beyond your business
✔ What you stand for and the values that guide your work
✔ How you communicate and connect with people
✔ Why people choose you over someone else

Think about it. If your business disappeared tomorrow, what would people still remember about you?

Why Personal Branding Helps Your Business Grow

If you’re a business owner, your personal brand is your biggest marketing advantage.

✨People connect with people, not businesses. A well-written sales page won’t create loyalty, but a real human story will.
✨Trust comes before the sale. If people feel like they know you, they’re more likely to buy from you.
✨It makes selling easier. When your brand is strong, people come to you instead of you chasing them.
✨It helps you stand out. No one else does things exactly like you do, and that’s your edge.

Think about the brands and businesses you love. Chances are, you follow them because you resonate with the person behind them, their way of thinking, or the way they make you feel. Now, why wouldn’t you do the same for your own business?

How to Build Your Personal Brand Without Overthinking It

Let’s make this simple. You don’t need a complicated branding strategy to start, just focus on these key areas:

1. Define What You Want to Be Known For

What do you want people to think of when they hear your name? Marketing? Hospitality? Storytelling? Being the absolute best at what you do? If you’re not clear about this, neither is your audience.

💡 Action step: Write down three words that describe your brand. Keep them visible when creating content.

2. Show Up, Even When It Feels Awkward

No one is expecting perfection, but if people don’t see you, they won’t remember you. And you don’t have to share everything—just enough for people to connect with you.

💡 Action step: Choose one way to show up this week. A short post? A behind-the-scenes story? A quick LinkedIn update? Keep it low-pressure.

3. Share Your Thoughts, Not Just Your Work

Anyone can post “Look at my new product or service!” but the most memorable brands share what they think, believe, and know.

💡 Action step: Write down one thing you believe about your industry and turn it into a post.

4. Be Consistent Without Burnout

Your brand is built in small, consistent moments, not in one viral post. The key is to keep showing up, even when it feels like no one is watching. Trust me, they are.

💡 Action step: Choose one platform to focus on for now and master it before trying to be everywhere.

You Are Your Best Marketing Strategy

At the end of the day, people don’t just buy what you do, they buy into who you are. Your personality, your values, your way of doing things, that’s what makes your business different.

If you want to build a personal brand that actually works for you, I can help. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your brand, let’s create a strategy that fits your voice, your business, and your goals.

Work with me and The Inmediato to develop a personal brand that attracts the right audience and a business brand that stands out. Ready to get started? Let’s talk! ✨

Posting Without Overthinking: Social Media Without the Pressure

Posting Without Overthinking: Social Media Without the Pressure

No hay comentarios

I have a love-hate relationship with social media.

There are days when I feel inspired, when words and ideas flow effortlessly, and posting feels natural, almost fun. And then there are days when I overthink everything—Does this even make sense? Will anyone care? Should I just delete it?

The internet makes us believe that everything needs a purpose, that every post should be perfectly curated, strategically timed, optimized for engagement. And honestly? That kind of pressure takes all the joy out of creating.

But here’s what I’ve realized: posting doesn’t have to be that deep.

I used to think that if I was going to post, it had to be something meaningful. A well-crafted thought, a valuable insight, something useful. But sometimes, I just want to share a song I love, a random observation, a photo I took because I liked the light that day.

And the truth is, those unfiltered, spontaneous moments are often the ones that connect the most. The things we don’t overthink, the words we don’t edit to exhaustion, the little snapshots of life that aren’t perfectly framed—those are the things that feel real.

Because real is what people relate to.

Social media wasn’t meant to be an obligation, but somewhere along the way, it started to feel like one. The algorithms, the content calendars, the pressure to stay relevant—it’s exhausting.

So lately, I’m trying something different: posting when I feel like it.

No rules, no pressure. Just sharing because I want to, not because I have to.

Some days that means nothing at all.
Some days it means a thought that pops into my head in the middle of a work call.
Some days it’s a blurry photo I love for no reason.

And you know what? It feels so much better.

Maybe you needed to hear this today. Maybe you have something saved in drafts, waiting for the "perfect moment" to post. Maybe that moment doesn’t exist, and you should just post it now. Or maybe not. Maybe today is for living, not sharing.

Either way, social media should work for you, not the other way around.

And if posting ever feels like too much, like something you should be doing instead of something you want to do—step back. Take a break. The internet isn’t going anywhere.

Post when you feel like it. Or don’t. Both are completely okay.

The Marketing Advantage No One Talks About: Reading Literature

The Marketing Advantage No One Talks About: Reading Literature

No hay comentarios

 

Let’s start with the obvious: literature is the best thing in the world. Period. Reading is a pleasure in itself, a universe in which we can get lost, learn, escape, and return a little different each time. The smell of books (old or new), the weight of words, the way a sentence can break you or lift you, it’s magic. And that magic, surprisingly, is one of the greatest tools you can have in marketing.

Yes, marketing.

Because beyond the simple joy of reading, literature has a way of shaping how we think, create, and communicate. And if you’re in the business of storytelling, whether for a brand, a project, or your personal content—reading fiction (and non-fiction, but mostly fiction) will give you a massive creative edge.

Let’s talk about why.

Creativity: Your Brain on Books

There’s a reason why the best campaigns, the most original ideas, and the most unforgettable brands have a strong creative core. And nothing fuels creativity like reading literature.

✦It exposes you to different worlds, perspectives, and ways of thinking.
✦It stretches your imagination. If you can visualize an entire fictional universe just from words on a page, you can craft marketing ideas that connect emotionally.
✦It makes your brain better at making connections. The more you read, the more your brain can take seemingly unrelated ideas and turn them into something new and powerful.

Big brands spend millions trying to come up with authentic, fresh storytelling, but the real secret? It’s been sitting in literature all along.

Storytelling: Because Every Brand Needs a Good Plot

If marketing had a backbone, it would be storytelling. Whether it’s a global ad campaign or a simple Instagram post, the ability to tell a compelling story is what makes people stop, engage, and care.

And where do you learn storytelling at its best? Books.

✦Understanding narrative structure. Every great campaign follows a story arc, just like a novel.
✦Character development. Knowing how to craft relatable, layered characters in fiction teaches you how to build authentic brand personas.
✦Emotional connection. The best stories make us feel. And marketing, at its core, is about emotion.

A novel can teach you more about how to write compelling marketing copy than a thousand dry marketing books ever could.

Psychology: The Why Behind Every Decision

Great marketing isn’t just about what you say, it’s about why people respond to it. And literature is one of the best ways to understand human nature, emotions, and decision-making.

✦Reading fiction increases empathy. Studies show that people who read literary fiction are better at understanding emotions, because they spend time inside characters’ minds.
✦It helps you recognize patterns in human behavior. If you can predict how a character will react to conflict, you can predict how a customer might respond to an ad.
✦It makes persuasion more natural. The best marketing isn’t about selling, it’s about connecting. And the best books are masterclasses on how to connect with people through words.

Marketing that feels too "salesy" often fails. Marketing that feels human succeeds. Literature teaches you how to write in a way that feels real.

Structure: The Art of Saying Things Well

Good writing matters. It’s what separates a compelling ad from one that gets ignored, a memorable campaign from one that vanishes in the scroll.

✦Reading improves writing. Period. The more you read, the better your sense of rhythm, pacing, and word choice becomes.
✦ It teaches clarity. If you can write a powerful, concise sentence in a blog post, you can do the same in a marketing tagline.
✦ It trains you to hold attention. Writers know how to keep readers hooked. Marketers need to do the same, just in fewer words.

Think about it: The best marketing slogans are basically micro-fiction.
"Just Do It."
"Think Different."
"Because You’re Worth It."

These aren’t just words, they’re carefully crafted narratives packed into a few syllables.

 Read for Yourself, But Know It Helps Everything Else Too

It doesn’t have to be Hemingway or Borges (unless you truly love them). It’s about absorbing stories, words, emotions, and perspectives.  

At the end of the day, reading is worth it just because it is. But if you happen to work in marketing, branding, or anything that requires creativity, it’s also one of the greatest advantages you can have.

Doing marketing without reading is like trying to paint without ever seeing color. Ideas don’t come out of nowhere, they are built from other stories, from words that stay with you, from characters that make you feel something. If you’re not reading, you’re missing out on an endless source of inspiration.

Read more. Your mind (and your marketing) will thank you.

Losing Yourself in Motherhood, And Finding Your Way Back

Losing Yourself in Motherhood, And Finding Your Way Back

No hay comentarios

 Leer el post en español acá ✨

It’s Monday, I’m working from home, and for the first time in a long time, I’m painting my own nails—consistently. I haven’t done this since I was pregnant. I remember how much I loved it, watching YouTube tutorials, carefully applying layer after layer. I like soft, delicate colors, and for them to look right, you need at least three coats. Maybe writing this sounds ridiculously trivial, but talking about what I do makes me feel like a person.

Last week, an interview with writer Mariana Enriquez went viral where she openly stated that she didn’t want to be a mother. And, of course, the internet exploded: yes, no, she’s right, she’s wrong. I can’t believe that in 2025, we’re still debating whether someone wants to have kids or not.

Do you want children? Great. You don’t want children? Also great. Will you miss out on things? Maybe. But I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything that truly mattered.

Still, I admit there are moments when I don’t feel like a person. Not in a victimized way or as some self-sacrificing statement. I have, at times, lost myself a little but the person I’m becoming is infinitely better.

Why don’t I feel like a person? Because for three years, I have put myself second to everything. Even my basic needs have been on hold. Sometimes, I’m hungry, but I can’t eat. I need to use the bathroom, but I can’t. I’m exhausted, but I can’t sleep. I’m thirsty, but I left my water bottle on the bus, and I won’t drink from my baby’s because I don’t know when she’ll need it next. I want to step outside and get some fresh air, but I stay home. I want to finish a work project, but I’m needed elsewhere. Even my body isn’t my own anymore—not even the way it looks, the way it feels. My thoughts revolve around someone else: What does she need? What should she eat? Do I have to do laundry? What would make her happy? Is she happy? And by now, maybe this sounds like a horror story. But it’s not. I wouldn’t trade motherhood for anything. For the first time, I feel like my existence has a purpose.

Before, I was constantly chasing the next goal, the next project, the next thing to achieve—only to feel nothing once I got there. Two years ago, I published the first-ever book on Patagonian music—one of my biggest achievements as a journalist—and do you know what it really meant to me? Not much, if I’m being honest.

(The topic of self-imposed pressure during postpartum is another issue entirely—and one I’ll address later.)

When you’re pregnant, everyone cares about you. Then, the baby is born, and most people forget you exist. And that’s when things start getting complicated. Suddenly, everyone wants to be part of the story, but few people stop to think about how you’re feeling. You’re going through the most vulnerable stage of your life, but you don’t always ask for help, because you don’t even know how to ask. And sure, maybe you have a supportive partner, but even with all the help in the world, these feelings will still come up because people around you act weird anyway.

I could blame society, and I’d be right. Everything is designed to make mothers invisible. Why is it that the only people who truly seem to understand this are usually other mothers?

My mom was everything during this stage. I didn’t think it was possible to love her more, but here we are. There’s a movement that encourages people to take care of the mother because the baby is already being taken care of. But reality often looks different. They take the baby from your arms. They question your every decision. They push you aside. They don’t consider you at all. And suddenly, it’s not just that your basic needs aren’t being met, but you socially stop existing. That’s when you feel even less like a person.

And let’s not even get started on work.

Now that you’re a mom, you don’t count as much professionally either. Before, you could lock yourself in your office all weekend to meet deadlines. You could work from 8 AM to 8 PM—of course, for a ridiculously low salary, because hello, wage gap. #brechasalarial

And now? Not so much.

People say: "Now that you’re a mom, you just can’t do as much..."

And that makes you want to prove them wrong. Even if they kind of have a point—because no one should be defined or limited like that. And suddenly, you feel even less like a person. Like a pen that’s running out of ink. It still works, just not as well. And people leave it there, just in case, but it’s no longer their first choice. And in that moment, you feel even less like a person. I’m not saying I haven’t had privileges disguised as rights or that I don’t have a partner who shares parenting responsibilities equally. But this post isn’t about that. Understanding that I feel less like a person is actually a way to start feeling more like one.

Because I am a person. And I like things. And I want things. I like painting my nails. I like Radiohead, The Ramones, and Taylor Swift. I like writing. I like reading. I like taking photos. I like being invited to things, even if I can’t always go. I like being considered. I like when people believe that I can.

Understanding is always the first step. Writing this blog is a way of understanding myself.

I am a person.
You are a person.

And motherhood is not to blame for any of this.
Which is exactly why things can change.

Global Leadership in Split: What to Expect at GLS 2025

Global Leadership in Split: What to Expect at GLS 2025

No hay comentarios

 

Leadership isn’t just about titles—it’s about action, vision, and the willingness to grow. The Global Leadership Summit (GLS) Split 2025 is bringing together leaders from business, non-profits, education, and beyond to explore what it means to lead with purpose.

We spoke with Neissa Gallahar, one of the event organizers, about why leadership matters, how GLS is shaping conversations in Split, and what attendees can take away from this experience.

With a background in coaching, leadership development, and organizational culture, Neissa has worked with teams across industries—from ministry and nonprofits to healthcare, hospitality, and business. She believes in the power of being coachable and helping individuals break through limitations to become more effective leaders.

Here’s what she shared about GLS Split 2025 and the impact of strong leadership.

What inspired the idea behind GLS Split 2025? How do you see it making a difference for Split and beyond?
-Successful businesses, schools, hospitals, nonprofits, and churches all depend on successful leadership. All of these organizations will never be better than their leaders. If we want to improve as a city and as a region, we need to be deeply invested in growing our leaders. Sometimes if you ask people who their competition is they will say, “The restaurant next door, or a place across town.” While that is true, Croatia’s real competition is Portugal, Spain, Greece, and other Mediterranean countries. The only way that we can compete with them is if we collectively work on getting better. While planning this event, one of our organizers Geoff Bratton, who has started a few restaurants in the region said, “No one goes to a city because there is one good restaurant. They go because the city has good restaurants. Plural. They go because of the restaurant scene.” When we collectively focus on learning and becoming better, everyone wins.

How has GLS evolved since it started in Zagreb in 2012, and what inspired its expansion to Split this year?
-The Global Leadership Summit has been held in Zagreb since 2012. GLS is an international conference dedicated to leadership development that is held annually in more than 120 countries. The event features renowned leaders from a variety of fields – business, church, non-governmental organizations and education – sharing practical advice and leadership insights. GLS helps people improve their leadership skills and contribute to positive change in their communities.

What does leadership look like in action, beyond the title?
-Leadership in action is a life of servanthood, emphasizing humility, integrity, and responsibility rather than power or status. Leadership is about having a vision of what is possible, and then having the focus to guide and serve others to accomplish that goal. GLS also has a strong DNA that is rooted in Christian principles. It also brings together people from a mix of faith backgrounds and presents leadership principles in a way that everyone feels comfortable, regardless of their faith background. However, a key idea that drives our investment in leadership is the belief that God has given every person unique talents and gifts that he wants us to develop and grow. When we use those talents to serve others and keep the focus of our lives on God, rather than just seeking personal gain, everyone around us will be better off. In short, best-practice leadership is serving, guiding, and inspiring others with wisdom, humility, and faithfulness. It is not about power but about being a faithful steward of the people and responsibilities God entrusts to us.

Split has such a unique culture. How does the city’s identity influence this event?
-GLS Split is intentionally filled with panels of local leaders to help contextualize proven leadership practices. We are also taking the time to have local reflection panels after the key speakers and to help people process what was being said. This is a hybrid event where some of the key speakers are joining the room via video. There will be some aspects of the talks that might not all apply directly to doing business in Split, but a lot of the key principles being taught, definitely translate. By having local panels to help people process and think about the content presented, we will help people better apply things to their lives.

What’s the best way for attendees to use this event to build connections and grow professionally? 

-When possible come with your team from work, community or church to learn and grow together. This will equip you to walk away with leadership tools and the accountability to use them. Also, take the time to meet people who are outside of your circle. Introduce your friends to other people they might not know. An event like this is a great way to network and connect with other people who want to grow professionally as leaders. The very fact that people are willing to admit that they have more to learn and show up to an event like this, reflects an open mindset. We don’t expect people who have been in business for 30 years and think they know it all to attend. The people who come to these events want to learn and grow, and those are the people we should have in our lives.

What’s the one thing you hope people take away from this event to use in their lives or work?
-This event has a variety of speakers who will connect with people in different ways, but if people only take away one thing from this event is this, “The only way my organization or business is going to get better is if I improve as a leader.” Sometimes when things aren’t going well, we look for people to blame whether it’s our immediate boss, our politicians, or the bureaucracy. A lot of these things are out of our control and they are very hard to change. However when we adopt a learning mindset and realize that we as leaders can grow and impact our sphere of influence, we turn from feeling helpless to feeling empowered. If we can affirm the God-given talents and abilities in those who come and inspire them to continue growing as leaders, this event will be a success.

Join the Conversation on Leadership

GLS Split 2025 isn’t just another conference—it’s a space for growth, connection, and transformation.

If you’re ready to challenge yourself, expand your perspective, and invest in your leadership, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.

What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

What to Do When You Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything

No hay comentarios

We all have those days when even getting out of bed feels too much. You know the ones—where the to-do list sits untouched, and even the smallest task feels like climbing a mountain. I’ve been there too, and the first thing I want to tell you is: it’s okay.

Here’s the thing: life isn’t always about being productive or pushing yourself harder. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is pause, breathe, and take it one small step at a time. So, if today feels like "one of those days," here are some simple ways to navigate through it.

1. Let Yourself Feel It

The first step? Don’t fight it. Don’t try to guilt yourself into action or label the day as a failure. Let yourself feel however you’re feeling without judgment. It’s a moment, not a permanent state.

Take a deep breath. Say it out loud: "I’m allowed to feel this way."

Sometimes, that little bit of self-kindness is all you need to shift the weight.

2. Do One Tiny Thing (Even if It’s Just Standing Up)

When everything feels overwhelming, start as small as possible. You don’t need to conquer the day; you just need one tiny win.

• Make yourself a cup of tea.
• Open the curtains and let the light in.
• Stretch for two minutes.

The trick is to give yourself a sense of movement, no matter how small. Sometimes, those baby steps lead to a little more energy than you expected.

3. Find Something That Feels Good

If being productive isn’t on the table, what about doing something that simply feels nice? Comfort doesn’t have to be earned; you deserve it, even on a slow day.

• Put on your favorite playlist (mine usually involves a little indie rock or chill vibes).
• Watch that show or movie you’ve been saving for a "bad day."
• Write in your journal—no agenda, just let the words flow.

It’s not about fixing how you feel; it’s about being kind to yourself while you feel it.

4. Talk to Someone

Sometimes, what we need most is connection. A quick chat, a message, or even just hearing someone’s voice can remind you that you’re not alone.

• Call a friend and tell them how you’re feeling (or just chat about random things).
• Send a text to someone who makes you smile.
• If you feel up for it, meet someone for coffee and let them remind you that tomorrow is another day.

5. Reconnect with Your "Why"

When you feel stuck, try to remember what inspires you. What are you working toward? What excites you? Sometimes we lose sight of our "why," and finding it again can spark something small.

• Write down three things you’re grateful for.
• Look at old photos or notes that remind you of what you love.
• Set a tiny, meaningful goal—like replying to one email or taking a short walk.

6. Give Yourself Permission to Rest

Here’s the truth: rest is productive too. You don’t need to earn it or explain it. If your body and mind are asking for a break, listen.

• Lie down and read without guilt.
• Take a nap (yes, even at 2 p.m.).
• Turn off your phone and let yourself disconnect for a bit.

Rest doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you’re human.

7. Start Small When You’re Ready

Eventually, the fog will lift. When it does, you don’t have to dive back into the deep end. Just start small.

Maybe it’s tidying one corner of the room or replying to a single message. Build momentum slowly. Give yourself credit for every little step forward.

8. Be Kind to Yourself, Always

This is the most important part. Talk to yourself like you would to a friend on a tough day. Would you tell them they’re failing, or would you remind them to rest, recharge, and try again tomorrow?

Choose kindness every time.

Not every day has to be a big, productive one. Some days are just for being. For resting, reflecting, and letting life slow down. And that’s okay. The important thing is to show up for yourself—gently, patiently, and without judgment.

And remember: you don’t have to do it all alone. Even when you feel stuck, you’re never truly standing still.

Take care of yourself—today and always 💛
