Why Starting with Self-Love is the Best Choice
Ever tried to turn your life around on a Monday? Waking up at 5 a.m., going for a run, eating healthy, planning your day—all at once? Success? Probably not.
Your brain resists sudden changes—it craves simplicity and stability. That’s why starting small is more powerful. Surprisingly, the simplest act of self-love can spark incredible motivation.
Studies show: celebrating small victories makes you more likely to achieve big goals. Want a simple key to positive change? Begin your day with a quick ritual:
- Smile at yourself.
- Say something kind.
- Give yourself a playful ‘high-five’ in the mirror.
This small practice can instantly uplift your mood and build self-belief.
The Maui Ritual: Start Your Morning with a Win
Want to wake up feeling like a winner? Try this simple routine:
1. As soon as you wake up, say:
“Today is going to be a great day. I’m one step closer to my dreams.”
2. Look in the mirror and remind yourself:
“You are amazing, and you deserve the best.”
3. Finish with a ‘high-five’ to your reflection.
This ritual, made famous by Mel Robbins, triggers a surge of positivity. Simple acts like smiling or speaking kindly to yourself release endorphins, making your day lighter and brighter. Your morning sets the tone for everything else.
Small Steps Lead to Big Changes
We often fail because we aim too high. The secret? Start small. Build consistency.
Take just one minute to create a habit. Do it daily. Habits form through repetition—not perfection. Research says it takes about 66 days for a habit to stick.
Miss a day? Be kind to yourself. Don’t scold or quit—just pick up where you left off. The most important thing is to keep moving forward.
Mel Robbins’ Method: Count Down to Action
Feeling stuck? Waiting for the right moment to begin? You’ll wait forever. Instead, try this simple yet effective technique:
1. Count down: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1… go!”
2. Get up, smile, and give yourself a high-five in the mirror.
This method works by silencing doubt and pushing you to take action. It’s a mental switch to jumpstart your day. Try it, and you’ll feel the difference.
