are the heartbeat of this community. We appreciate you more

12
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:05.920
than you know. Today we're diving into the power of

13
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:11.000
micro shifts, the small, consistent actions that lead to massive

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.359
personal transformation. Whether it's in sobriety, relationships or mindset, the

15
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:23.319
smallest steps can create the biggest impact. Let's start with

16
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:27.560
Jane Marie, who's got some real life insights for us.

17
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.840
Thanks Daniel. Research shows that lasting change doesn't happen overnight.

18
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:39.200
It happens through small, consistent actions. Studies prove that micro

19
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.079
shifts like replacing negative self talk with positive affirmations or

20
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.280
committing to five minutes of meditation a day can rewire

21
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.640
the brain over time. In relationships, simple acts like daily

22
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.799
gratitude or mindful communication can rebuild trust, and when it

23
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:58.879
comes to sobriety, choosing just one supportive habit like journaling

24
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.760
or attending a meeting can set the foundation for long

25
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.439
term success.

26
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:09.199
Powerful insights, Jane Marcus, let's turn to you. How can

27
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.240
we apply this principle to self improvement?

28
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:18.879
Absolutely, Daniel. The key to transformation is consistency. Small changes

29
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.280
done daily compound into major shifts. Think about it. If

30
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.479
you improve by just one percent every day in a year,

31
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.520
you'll be thirty seven times better than when you started.

32
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:34.039
It's about momentum. Start with something simple, waking up five

33
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.039
minutes earlier to set an intention for the day, replacing

34
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.719
one unhealthy habit with a positive one, or even pausing

35
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:44.319
before reacting in a tough conversation. Change doesn't have to

36
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.439
be drastic, It just has to be consistent.

37
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:53.039
That's the truth, Marcus. And now, Chucky Chick, how do

38
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:53.680
you see it?

39
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:58.439
All right? Folks, let's break it down. Micro shifts are

40
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.479
like upgrading your phone apps. You don't notice the difference

41
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.280
right away, but over time everything runs smoother in sobriety.

42
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.639
Maybe your micro shift is swapping out your old drinking

43
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:13.520
buddies for people who uplift you in relationships. Maybe it's

44
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:17.439
sending one kind text to day. These small actions stack up,

45
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.840
and before you know it, you're in a whole new reality.

46
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.919
And let's be real, progress is way more fun when

47
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.599
you laugh along the way.

48
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:30.960
Love that perspective, Chucky. Growth is a series of small steps,

49
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.159
and each one brings us closer to the best version

50
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.360
of ourselves. As we wrap up, let's take a moment

51
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:44.319
for a powerful affirmation from seventy seven affirmations for Sobriety.

52
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.879
Every small step I take brings me closer to the

53
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:54.159
life I deserve. I am strong, I am capable, and

54
00:03:54.199 --> 00:04:00.680
I am healing every day. Remember, the biggest transformation start

55
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.080
with the tiniest actions. You don't have to change everything overnight.

56
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.840
Just take one small step today. Thanks for tuning in
