It’s not just about 10k steps, it's THIS

Steps are great. I love steps.



Your body loves steps.



And it is motivating to watch that number trend up on your Apple watch.



But if you’re a busy woman in her 40s juggling work, family, and trying to take care of yourself...



You know it takes a little more than that to hit your goals…



Especially when your time is limited and your energy’s pulled in a million directions.



I want you to zoom out:



Let’s talk about the steps your watch doesn’t track. Things like:



1. Nutrition Steps:


●     Having eggs instead of that muffin for breakfast


●     Swapping that afternoon soda for BCAAs


●    Blocking off time to meal prep on Sunday



2. Mindset Steps:


●     Saying no more often


●     Paying attention to your negative self-talk


●     Journaling to clarify your thoughts



3. Lifestyle Steps:


●     Getting to bed 30 minutes earlier


●    Taking 5 minutes to breathe and pray before your day starts


●     Going outside for at least 10 minutes every day



Just like walking, these steps stack up.



So yes, keep counting your steps!



But also ask: What other kind of “step” can I take today?



Your challenge today:


→ Pick one other step to make non-negotiable this week.


→ Write it down. Stick with it.


→ Notice how it shifts your energy, focus, or stress level.



What’s your ONE step? I wanna hear it!
