💬 Your Success Stories
I was stuck in a cycle of wanting to exercise but never committing. Writing down the simple phrase 'stretch for 1 minute each morning' changed everything. It was a small goal, but seeing it written made it feel official. Over time, I added a bit more movement and built a habit I actually enjoy. That one sentence reminded me that I could start small and still make progress.
