If there is one thing standing in the way of your success and you living a life that
you love it probably has to do with some all or nothing thinking, and trust me, if I could
banish any way of thinking from everyone's minds it would be this.

I want you to stop.
No seriously, I want you to stop whatever it is you're doing.
Put it down, close the other browser window, I need you to listen to me right now.
I want you to ask yourself the question, "has all or nothing thinking prevented me from
doing something in my life?"
Has it?
Do you not know what I'm talking about?
Maybe you're sitting there going, "I don't even know what all or nothing thinking is."
Well all or nothing thinking is this idea that we have to do everything all at once.
It's the new years resolutions type of thinking.
That you're going to lose the weight, workout everyday.
You're going to change your job.
You're going to improve your relationship, and you're going to drink a smoothie everyday
for the rest of your life.
That's all or nothing thinking.
That in order to improve your life, you have to do everything under the sun all at once
in order to make things better.
Guess what?
That's not the way to go about it because chances are, the minute you don't do at least
one of those things, the minute you miss a day where you drink a smoothie, that you don't
workout.
The minute you have a day where you didn't give your partner a hug, or give them words
of affirmation, chances are, you'll say to yourself, "well, I messed up.
I blew that so what's the point of doing the rest of it?"
Does this sound familiar?
I used to be that way.
I used to think exactly the same thing.
That if I wasn't doing all of the things, all of the time consistently, day in day out,
then I was a failure.
The truth is, we aren't designed to do all of the things, all of the time, day in day
out.
In fact, when we do that, we burn ourselves out that much more quickly.
So here's my number one tip to combat all or nothing thinking.
Start small.
What is one thing you can do today to improve your life?
Not improve your health and wellness, not improve your relationship, not improve your
career, your life.
Maybe it means you go for a walk for five minutes.
Maybe it means you drink a glass of water instead of a third cup of coffee.
Maybe it means you ask your partner for a hug and you hang out for 20 seconds in that
hug because hugging for 20 seconds by the way, has been scientifically proven to be
beneficial for the entire nervous system.
So what's one small thing you can do today to change your life for the better?
Not all the things, one thing.
Here's the beautiful thing about starting with one thing.
You get momentum going.
If you can do that one thing, you get the momentum going to make that one thing happen
every single day, and that one thing can be different every day.
It being different means that you're listening to what you need.
You're listening to what your body needs, what your soul needs, what your mind needs
at any given time.
You're not forcing the issue.
Instead, you're tuning into your inner wisdom.
You're listening to what your body is craving instead of saying, "no you need a smoothie
today because that's what I told you you need."
You might actually crave a bowl of warm oatmeal instead of a cold smoothie, just saying.
Start with one small thing each and every day.
One, just one.
If you end up doing two or three, awesome.
If not, you did one and that's awesome too.
To help you out with this one small thing exercise I've included a little worksheet
down below.
You can print this out and just journal for a week.
What is one small thing that you did for yourself each day of the week.
If you're ready to transform your life.
If you're ready to become empowered.
If you're ready to stop feeling anxious and stressed.
If you're ready to start tuning into what your body really needs, I want you to book
a free 50 minute empowerment session with me today.
The link to do that is in the description below.
