When Life Gets Messy… but the Reset Still Happens
|
Hey you, This week was a mixed bag of early mornings, toddler chaos, tiny notebooks, and big visualizations — and I loved it. It felt like the version of me I’ve been trying to step back into. The one who shows up, even if it’s imperfect. The one who keeps choosing progress, even when Ledger decides dumbbells are the enemy. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This WeekThis week I started SAVERS again — and wow. It’s been a minute since I felt that aligned right out of bed. I didn’t nail the perfect 5:00 a.m. wake-ups every day (shoutout to the random 17 minutes I spent talking myself into standing up), but once I was up, I was in it. Visualization hit different this week. Opening that “door” in the practice and seeing future-me in our dream home, dogs running around, Ledger laughing — that moment reminded me why I’m pushing through the chaos. I’m excited to keep testing this routine. It already feels like a lifeline for my mornings. Celebrate Your Wins
Productivity Hack of the WeekThe Pocket Notebook Trick I got myself a tiny notebook — and it’s a game changer. Instead of lugging around a giant notebook that gets buried under toys, laundry, and my personality, this little pocket one is always with me. It’s my new throw list:
This is one of those simple “oh duh” tools that genuinely keeps your brain clear…. but it’s also just fun to have it handy for whatever, even if it’s just a doodle. What I’m Into This Week
Life Snapshot
One Last ThingThe biggest thing I’m sitting with this week: progress doesn’t happen from perfect days — it happens from choosing again, and again, and again. The mornings I was excited, I showed up. The mornings I overslept… I still showed up. The evenings when workouts didn’t go to plan? Still did something. Momentum isn’t built in a single moment. It’s built in the moments we refuse to quit. Fun P.S.Ledger watching me try to lift dumbbells and then deciding he needed to do something different every 20 seconds… honestly might’ve been the most accurate metaphor for adult life.

Hey you, January came in hot. Like “testing every system you thought was solid” kind of hot. Flu. Ice storms. Daycare closures. Travel. Early mornings. A knee that decided to speak up at the worst possible time. And yet… here we are. Fourteen days out from my first marathon. Still standing. Still trying. Still adjusting. This week was less about crushing goals and more about staying regulated, present and committed, even when the plan kept changing. One Thing to Think About This Week Progress...
Hey you, I’m writing this one from a week that asked for a little extra preparation, a little more patience and a lot of mental uhh flexibility. The kind of week where you don’t force productivity, but you support yourself through it. Let’s get into it. One Thing to Think About This Week Preparation isn’t fear. It’s care. This week reminded me that being prepared doesn’t mean you’re panicking, it means you’re paying attention. Whether it’s researching generators (cuz we did that), worrying...
Hey you, This week was a reminder that life doesn’t always follow the plan we set on January 1st. Sometimes you’re ready to go hard… and instead, you’re forced to slow way down. And least, that’s exactly what happened over here. One Thing to Think About This Week I had one of those quiet realizations while dropping Ledger off at daycare. The teachers were so excited to see him again after winter break. He was excited. And I realized, getting out of the house in the morning matters way more...
