104: Something is Always Better Than Nothing & Preventing Overwhelm When Starting Something New

Do Life Big

I'm so pumped to have you back for another episode of Do Life Big! Today’s episode is going to be short, sweet, and packed with some serious value. I decided to record this one after I announced that my husband and I are starting the 75 Hard Program. If you haven’t caught that bonus episode, go listen to #103 first!

So, here’s the deal. Lately, I’ve been hearing from so many of you who are feeling overwhelmed, trying to juggle all the things—kids, work, health, you name it. It’s easy to get caught up in that all-or-nothing mentality, where if we can’t do it all, we end up doing nothing. But let me tell you, it doesn’t have to be that way!

That’s why today, I’m sharing 5 simple ways to protect your inner peace, especially when life gets chaotic:

1. Start Small: Forget the all-or-nothing mentality. Just start with one tiny change—like drinking more water or moving your body a little each day. Something is always better than nothing.

2. Pair New Habits with Old Ones: Got a good habit already? Use it to build a new one! If you drink tea every night, why not use that time to read a book or listen to something uplifting?

3. Focus on Progress, Not Perfection: Life isn’t going to go exactly as planned, and that’s okay! Celebrate the small wins, no matter how tiny they seem.

4. Live in the Gain, Not the Gap: Stop comparing yourself to where you think you should be. Instead, focus on how far you’ve come and celebrate the progress you've made.

5. Surround Yourself with Positivity: Whether it’s a supportive Facebook group (like ours!), uplifting podcasts, or daily affirmations, fill your life with things that lift you up.

We’ve got to ditch that all-or-nothing mindset and start embracing the little wins. So grab your cup of tea, and let’s get into how you can start making those small but mighty changes that will keep your inner peace intact.

Can’t wait for you to hear this one! Let’s do life big, together. ✨
