Similar to the slow and steady growth of a tree, our own progress often happens through the accumulation of small, purposeful steps. These steps, like the delicate emergence of leaves in spring, contribute to our overall well-being and personal development.

We see this time and time again in our Coaching program. Mothers enroll in our program expecting to receive a restrictive meal plan or complicated diet where they have to weigh, measure, and log all their food.

But instead, we start them off with small behavior changes. At first, this frustrates them! They want results fast, and what we ask them to do feels “too easy”, so they’re worried it can’t possibly work.

What they often don’t realize is that long-term change requires consistency, so developing a sustainable, doable strategy is a must.

Small and simple is a more effective way to make lasting change. This knowledge doesn’t just come from my experience as a coach. It’s rooted in behavior change psychology.

Evidence suggests that lasting change happens when you start small and stack good habits and practices on top of one another over time. Once our clients do this, they achieve results they never dreamed possible — and it feels easier than ever before.

But here’s the thing: Small and simple can feel really weird at times. Especially if you’re used to making broad, sweeping changes, or if you believe that to get results you have to “go big or go home.”

Small efforts, done consistently over time, add up to massive results.

It can lead to a drastically different HUGE outcome.

Think of it like a brick.

One brick all on its own doesn’t seem like much.

But put them together in the right order, and, over time, you’ll build a beautiful home.

Now, you might be thinking, “I have such a long way to go. Small changes would take forever. I don’t have time for that.” 

But the truth is: When you make small, positive changes, they build on each other over time — and the results are much bigger than you think.
