unlock your inner powerhouse: one small step at a time

hey, there!

it's terrific tuesday, and we're diving into the power of willpower. remember yesterday's sticky note challenge? that was your first step in harnessing your inner strength. today, we're building on that momentum. roy baumeister reminds us that willpower isn't some magical force - it's a skill we can develop. think of it like a muscle. just as you wouldn't expect to bench press 200 pounds on your first gym visit, don't expect to overhaul your life overnight. instead, focus on small, manageable tasks.

yesterday, you wrote down one small step. today, let's take that a step further. baumeister's research shows that people with high self-control aren't superhumans; they're strategic. they create environments that support their goals and reduce distractions. what's one small change you can make to your environment today? maybe it's putting your phone in another room while you work, or prepping a healthy snack for when cravings hit.

remember, every small choice is a victory. you're not just building habits; you're building your willpower muscle. so, what's your power move today?
