how i started glowing up on my “worst” days

here’s the thing no one tells you about healing:
some days will still absolutely suck.

there are days my brain feels like someone poured molasses on my thoughts. my to-do list is laughing at me. old coping mechanisms are waving from the corner like, “hey bestie, miss us?”

for a long time, i thought those days “didn’t count.” if i couldn’t do the full workout, the full routine, the full anything… what was the point?

the turning point was when i started asking a different question:

“what’s the smallest version of this that still honors my future self?”

on “worst” days, my glow up looks like:

• walking 5 minutes instead of 0

• cleaning one surface instead of “deep cleaning the whole apartment”

• answering one email instead of ghosting my entire inbox

• journaling three bullet points instead of pretending i don’t have feelings

none of that is aesthetic. there’s no montage music. but those tiny moves keep me tethered to the identity i’m building:
someone who shows up, even if it’s small. especially when it’s small.

this is a huge part of what i teach inside the bbb world: how to build systems that scale down with you on low-energy days instead of disappearing completely.

because the truth is, your life changes way more from what you do on your “bad” days than it does from the rare, perfectly planned ones.
