Small hinges swing big doors. That means that big shifts don't happen overnight. It's the tiniest changes repeated consistently that build momentum and create lasting transformation.

Melissa’s passion project is her non-profit, Girls Matter ( www.girlsmatter.ca ), breaking the poverty cycle 1 girl, 1 family, 1 village at a time. The mission is to keep girls in school and stop teenage marriages, because school isn’t free in over 50 countries around the world and when parents have to make the difficult choices of feeding their kids or paying for school, food wins. And when the girls hit their teen years, they will often be married off so that someone else becomes responsible to feed them. Keeping girls in school instead creates a generational ripple effect, because an educated girl is more than twice as likely to ensure her on children are educated. Educating girls also grows the GDP of countries, when they get into the workforce. This is how together, we can change the world. Guests on this podcast are invited to donate to this important cause.

Welcome back to another episode of health hacks. This month. I'm doing random health hacks throughout the month, small, quick things that you can do and easily implement into your life in order to create change. And with that today, I'm starting with small hinges swing big doors. And what does that mean? It means that big shifts don't happen overnight. It's the tiniest changes repeated consistently that build momentum and create lasting transformation. And that's the magic of micro habits. Think of a micro habit as a daily action that's so small it almost feels effortless and that you can easily build on top of another habit. For instance, having one glass of water before you drink your coffee, or taking five deep cleansing breaths, inhaling and exhaling deeply before you open your laptop for the day, or even two minutes of stretching the moment you get out of bed, they may not sound like much, however, stacked over time, they retrain your brain and your body to operate in a new way. And micro habits are powerful because they literally bypass resistance, because they're so easy, you don't say no. And so this week, I invite you to stack one new micro habit onto something you already do. And here's how literally identify a habit that you already have, like brushing your teeth, stack a new habit on top of it, like doing 10 squats or reciting an affirmation while you brush your teeth for the squats or reciting the affirmation immediately before brushing your teeth as an example, and repeat it daily. And before you know, these little actions snowball into bigger shifts. And the best part is you'll feel proud of yourself for sticking with it, and that confidence grows with every repetition. And remember, it's not about being perfect. It's about being consistent. Now, if you have bigger behaviors that you want to change, then a really effective way of doing that is using hypnotherapy, where we literally rewire the neurology of your brain to have you creating that new behavior. And again, because we're working with the unconscious mind, it's quick, it's easy, and I love sharing tools with people in order to be able to affect quick and easy change in your life. So if you want to know more about hypnotherapy, we run courses to train you in using these tools, learn self hypnosis as well as work one to one with people in order to help you create the transformation you're looking for. Check out the show notes for more information.
