Hi Reader,

After last week’s email, some of you shared such thoughtful comments.

One person compared repeating what works to putting your favorite song on repeat - you always hear something new, but the melody stays the same. 🎵

Someone else shared how they start with 15 minutes instead of 30 when building a walking habit, making it more manageable.

And one reminded me that, yes, sometimes we love to complicate things with drama. (Guilty as charged 🤣).

It made me realize something:

We often do the exact same thing with self-care.

We overcomplicate it.

We think it has to be a perfect morning routine, a spa day, or a long yoga session.

And then when we can’t live up to that version… we don’t do it at all.

But here’s the truth:

Self-care doesn’t need to be complex.

It just needs to be consistent.

For me, that looks like my golden rule: 10 minutes.

Ten minutes outside walking is enough to tick my #walkingeverydamnday box. And I use the same rule for my mornings: 10 minutes of reading, journaling, or meditation is enough to start my day with intention.

If I want to keep going, great. But if not, I’ve already succeeded.

Because the minimum counts.

And often, the minimum is what keeps us moving forward.

So here’s your reminder:

Self-care isn’t about big, complicated plans.

It’s about choosing something simple, doable, and repeating it, until it becomes part of you.

💬 What’s your version of “10 minutes”?

Hit reply and tell me the simplest self-care practice you can put on repeat.
