As a busy mompreneur or professional working mother, your days are filled with deadlines, meetings, school drop-offs, and endless to-do lists. Between work and family life, your own health often takes a backseat—especially when struggling with leaky bladders, persistent pain, or weak core strength.
But here’s the truth: small, consistent wins create big results. Instead of waiting for the "perfect time" to focus on your health, you can start today by stacking small wins that fit into your busy lifestyle.
Why Small Wins Matter
A small win is any positive step toward better health—choosing water over soda, stretching for five minutes, or standing up for a quick break between meetings. These seemingly minor actions may not feel like much in the moment, but over time, they build powerful habits that support your well-being from postpartum to peri-menopause and beyond.
How to Use Small Wins to Build Lasting Habits
1. Start with One Simple Goal
Trying to overhaul your health all at once can feel overwhelming. Instead, focus on one small, achievable goal that you can stick with consistently.
🔹 Example: If you’re struggling with pelvic floor weakness, start with 30 seconds of diaphragmatic breathing before bed.
🔹 Example: If exhaustion is your biggest challenge, commit to going to bed 15 minutes earlier this week.
2. Celebrate Every Success (No Matter How Small!)
Acknowledging small wins keeps you motivated. Each time you choose movement over sitting, eat a nourishing meal, or take a mindful breath, you’re making progress.
✨ Physical Wins: Can you hold a plank a few seconds longer or lift your toddler without back pain today? That’s a win!
✨ Nutrition Wins: Did you swap coffee for water or add more protein to your breakfast? Another victory!
✨ Self-Care Wins: Took a 10-minute walk in fresh air or journaled before bed? Celebrate that progress!
3. Stack Habits to Make Them Stick
Pairing new habits with existing routines makes them easier to maintain. This technique, called habit stacking, helps you build consistency without extra effort.
💡 Example:
✔ While brushing your teeth → practice deep breathing for pelvic floor relaxation.
✔ Before checking emails → stand and do 5 squats.
✔ After putting kids to bed → spend 5 minutes stretching.
4. Release the Pressure & Focus on Progress
It's easy to feel discouraged if you're not seeing instant results. But healing and strength take time. Instead of focusing on what you haven’t done, focus on what you have done.
💛 Mantra for you:
"Every small step I take brings me closer to strength, vitality, and confidence."
5. Turn Small Wins Into Lifelong Health
Your body has carried you through so much—from postpartum recovery to managing a business or career—and it deserves care. You don’t need a perfect plan—just the commitment to start.
✅ Set one micro-goal today (like drinking more water or stretching for 2 minutes).
✅ Track your wins (write them down or mentally acknowledge them).
✅ Celebrate your efforts (small steps add up to big transformations).
