🌿 Small Steps, Big Impact

You don't need to overhaul your entire life to improve your health. Sometimes the most powerful changes come from small, consistent actions.

✨ Try one of these this week:
• Take a 10-minute walk
• Drink an extra glass of water
• Call a friend or family member
• Get 15 minutes of sunlight
• Practice deep breathing

Every step forward counts. What small change will you commit to this week?
