Small Wins: Turbocharging Confidence

The "Snowball Effect" - when little steps forward accumulate into something great

Yesterday Nat and I went skiing for the first time this winter, and it was a great reminder for me that small steps add up.

I can probably count on two hands the number of times Nat has been skiing, total. She’s getting the hang of it - but let’s be real - skiing can be scary! You’re on two thin, slick sticks flying down a snowy and icy decline.

At first blush, it’s not exactly the perfect definition of “Fun.” ⛷

But as we continue to crush the Greens at Breck, the cool thing I am noticing is that her ability and confidence is increasing in lock-step with the amount of reps we get in. Every run she gets a little bit more sure of herself. That scary decline is starting to turn into a thrill of getting better. Challenging herself is in itself the fun of it!

I consider other parts of our lives - especially our health + wellness - as a momentum play, too.

The small steps you take add up, increasing not only your performance but also your CONFIDENCE TO PERFORM. A daily step goal, a 5-min mobility routine post-workout, subbing in figs or dates instead of ice cream as a post-dinner snack.

Your small wins snowball into a major victory!

Until next time -
