Feel 1% Better

We often put pressure on ourselves to feel “all better” and find the thing that will “fix” how we’re feeling right away. But: What if we focused instead on just feeling a little bit better instead? Today, we are going to experiment with the Kaizen “1% Better” principle as a way to support our own self care and healing. Written by Stephanie Simpson. Voiced by Elisha Mudly. Takeaways: 1- There is great power in focusing on the small, more manageable shifts you can make in the moment rather than always focusing on the big change. 2-  Your breath is a resource you have access to in every moment of every day. 3- Persistent intentional daily practice, no matter how small, compounds over time to result in big gains.    --- Mantra: I commit to one thing every day that makes me feel 1% better. --- With the Shine app, end your day with recommended meditations to quiet your mind and help you ease into rest.
