226. Tiny Upgrades That Change Everything!
You don’t need to overhaul your life to feel better! Start with one small habit each week and watch how 52 tiny changes stack up in a year. Dr. Anna Marie Frank calls it the “add in method,” and it can touch everything from your mood to your bank account. Think simple: stretch while you wait for your coffee, step outside in the morning light, sip more water, take short breathing breaks, and jot down what you’re grateful for. Even your finances get a boost when you shift perspective. Redirecting just $5 a day could mean $1,800 by the end of the year. It’s about trading quick wins for lasting value and showing up for your future self in small but powerful ways. One upgrade at a time, you start to see the bigger picture—and the bigger payoff.
