Massive Change Usually Starts as a Micro-Choice

You declare you’re ready for change.
You prefer evolution.
You say, “Today is the first day of the rest of my life—and my life is different!”

And then you make a list so over the top even your higher self is like,
“Yo, chill! You chose into being Chris from Milwaukee in this life. But that list has got reincarnation-level expectations.”

Wake up at 5am.
Meditate for 30 minutes.
Juice celery.
Heal inner child.
Launch brand.
Forgive everyone.
Rewire subconscious.
Buy mushrooms.
Start Pilates and a Goat Yoga class.

Your enthusiasm is to be commended.
But maybe consider pumping the brakes before your chakras burn out faster than your sage stick at the family reunion.

Here’s a tip: just start…
Waking up and deciding to make your bed.
Drinking water before your fifth cup of coffee.
Brushing your teeth while thinking kind thoughts about yourself.
(Or at least neutral ones.)

Maybe put on that one shirt that sustains you in feeling like the badass version of you. Even if you’re just wearing it to prove you can feel nothing while scrolling your ex’s IG feed.

That’s the pivot.
That’s how timelines shift.

Not through a grand declaration,
but through a quiet, conscious interruption of an old pattern.

Looking for a different reality? Great.
But you don’t have to bust through the wall like the Kool-Aid guy at an ayahuasca retreat.

Every future you prefer is built on tiny, repeated votes for the present you.

And some days?

The most powerful move you make is not spiraling when you accidentally turned the blender on without the lid while making your lemongrass smoothie.

That counts too.

Massive change isn’t loud.
It’s consistent.
It’s sneaky.
It starts small…
and then it rewires everything.
