Women’s Health Month –small change BLESSONS IN WELLNESS

"It’s hard to “Be Well” while holding on to self-defeating habits. At some point, change must come. The secret -  start small."

My small change approach to living my best life grew from two things: 1) my innate gift of systems thinking – I’ve always sought patterns and connections within complicated situations and, 2) lessons learned along my journey from caterpillar to becoming a wellness butterfly – what I call small change “Blessons” (blessings hidden in lessons). Sharing them is what keeps me singing a happy tune.

So this week, as I continue the conversation on improving health outcomes for women, I’m sharing my Key Principles of the small change Wholistic Approach to Wellness. I hope they will spark something within you, and remind you that every big transformation begins with one small change.

KEY PRINCIPLES OF THE small change WHOLISTIC APPROACH TO WELLNESS

Sustainable – Health is a lifelong journey and small, consistent actions make lasting success achievable. 

Multidimensional – Acknowledges all aspects of wellness, not just one or two areas. 

Affordable – Requires only a notebook, a pen, and a few minutes of your time to get started daily.

Leads to Progress – Gradually builds and integrates small habits into your daily life.

Confidence Builder – Every small win boosts self-trust and momentum for lasting change.
