You’ve Come Further Than You Think

Fyonna Vanderwerf | MAY 6, 2025

Take 10 minutes. A coffee. A playlist. And a pause. ☕🎧✍️

Since January, how much has changed?

Before you roll your eyes or rattle off all the things you haven’t done yet — STOP.
Because here’s the truth: you’ve come further than you think.

Let’s Talk About the Wins That Don't Always Make Headlines

A client of mine told me recently she shifted from adding 2–3 heaping tablespoons of sugar into her coffee every single day… to just one packet of stevia.

Another started moving her workouts to the morning. And now? She’s hitting 4–5 sessions a week and starting to ask better questions about food. She’s not just showing up — she’s leveling up.

And one client looked me in the eye and said:

“I realized I was still reaching for a drink every night out of habit — a pandemic leftover. Now, I only feel the pull when I watch the news… so I don’t watch the news, or I hydrate with something else instead.”

That, my friend, is growth.

Take 10 Minutes Today and Ask Yourself:

Get quiet. Grab a notebook or the back of a receipt. And answer these 5 reflection prompts:

  1. What small but meaningful thing have I changed since January?
  2. Where have I shown up more consistently — even if no one else noticed?
  3. What’s something I used to do on autopilot that I now think about differently?
  4. When did I last bounce back instead of giving up?
  5. What’s one habit I’m proud of today — even if I haven’t perfected it yet?

Don’t overthink it. Just write.

Progress Isn’t Always a Loud Transformation

Sometimes it’s a whisper.
A shift.
A habit cracked open and re-molded.
A walk instead of a scroll.
An “I’ll try” instead of an “I can’t.”

You don’t need to start over.
You just need to keep showing up.

Growth Mindset 101:

The sailors who navigate storms don’t quit the sea — they become better sailors.

And you? You’ve weathered storms. You’ve adjusted your sails. You’ve learned. You’re still here. Still trying. Still choosing strength.

That matters more than any number on a scale, any goal on a whiteboard, or any "should" whispering in your ear.
