We're going to be starting a new class/group soon!
We'd love to have you join us. The following is a brief description of the book we'll be following.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•
Atomic Habits by James Clear is all about one powerful idea: **big life changes don’t come from one big decision… they come from tiny choices repeated daily.** Your habits—what you do when you’re stressed, tired, bored, lonely, or busy—quietly shape your health, your mindset, your relationships, and your future.

Clear calls them “atomic” because they’re **small**… but also **powerful**. A little improvement done consistently **compounds**. That’s why the idea of getting **1% better each day** matters. One good day won’t change your life, but a *pattern* will.

One reason people quit is because progress doesn’t always show up right away. The book explains the **Plateau of Latent Potential**—the time when your effort is working, but results aren’t visible yet. Like an ice cube warming from 25° to 31° (nothing changes)… until 32° and it melts. **The breakthrough is usually the result of many small steps you couldn’t see paying off.**

Atomic Habits also flips the way we usually think about change. Instead of obsessing over goals, Clear says to focus on **systems**. A goal is what you want. A system is what you do every day to get there. **Winners and losers often have the same goals**—the difference is the system they follow.

One of the best parts of the book is the identity shift. Lasting change doesn’t start with “What do I want?” It starts with **“Who do I want to become?”** Every habit is a vote for the person you’re becoming. You don’t need perfection—just more votes in the right direction.

Clear explains habits with a simple loop: **Cue → Craving → Response → Reward.** Once you understand what triggers a habit and what “reward” you’re really craving (comfort, relief, escape, connection), you can build better patterns.

Then he gives the core toolkit: **The Four Laws of Behavior Change**

1. **Make it Obvious** (clear cues, plan it, habit stacking: “After I ___, I will ___.”)
2. **Make it Attractive** (pair it with something enjoyable, surround yourself with supportive people)
3. **Make it Easy** (start tiny, use the 2-minute rule, reduce friction)
4. **Make it Satisfying** (track it, celebrate wins, build accountability)

**Wellness With Peers: Atomic Habits (6-week virtual course)**
🗓 Wednesdays | ⏰ 7:00 PM CST | 💻 Online
A link to the class will be posted weekly, approximately 1 hour before the class begins.
We’ll break it down into simple steps, real-life examples, discussion, and tools you can use right away. No judgment—just support, growth, and encouragement.

With the first of the big holidays coming up this week, don’t forget to take care of **YOURSELF**. 💛

So much of the season is about giving — the cleaning, the shopping, the cooking, the “making everything just right” for everyone else. In the middle of all that, it’s easy to forget to actually *enjoy* it. I know I’ve spent years worrying so much about things being perfect that I missed really soaking in the clean house with the pretty decorations, the delicious food, and most importantly… the people I love. 🥹🧡

This year, maybe we try something different:
✨ Stress less, enjoy more.
✨ Remember you are your own biggest critic. The things you’re stressing over are probably things your guests won’t even notice.
✨ Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You might be surprised how willing people are to jump in. A family meal feels a lot more like *family* when everyone helps. 🥰

And most importantly: **don’t forget to take a little time for YOU.**
When you need a moment, take it — even if it’s just a few minutes. Step away, breathe, relax, and come back to your center if you’re feeling a little off. 🕊️

Wishing all of you a warm, peaceful, and love-filled Thanksgiving. 🦃🍂❤️

Please, reassure those struggling that they can make it... not tell them what they're doing wrong.
