Hey there! Today, I want to share something close to my heart, especially for those who might be struggling with anxiety, emotional distress, or just feeling lost in their journey. I’m part of a few anxiety support groups on Facebook, and it’s become my way of giving back. I’ve been there—I’ve walked through the fog of anxiety, and now, I’m in a place where I can offer support to people who are going through what I once did. It’s not just about helping others, though. It’s about sharing what worked for me, what kept me going.
In these groups, I see people from all walks of life—some are dealing with anxiety so intense, it feels like a constant battle. Some are relatives of those who’ve taken their own lives, struggling with their own emotional distress in the aftermath. Some are on the brink themselves, and every day is a fight to hold on. It’s heartbreaking. Sometimes, I wish I could just jump through the screen, hold their hand, and tell them, “Don’t miss this. Don’t miss the importance of checking in with yourself daily.”
When I was deep in my struggle, I learned something vital—the power of daily check-ins. It wasn’t about feeling great every day; some days, I didn’t feel great at all. But every single day, I asked myself, “How am I doing?” That simple question became my lifeline. It was the framework that kept me grounded because, without it, my emotions could hijack my day before I even knew what hit me.
And here’s what I want to stress today: don’t miss the power of compound effects. Whether you’re trying to get emotionally healthier, lose weight, or build better relationships, it’s the small, daily actions that create the biggest change over time. It’s not about seeing results immediately. It’s about the slow, steady, needle-point moves that make a difference long term.
I was ambushed by my own emotions for so long. I would start something, and when I didn’t see instant results, I’d give up. Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve been there too. Maybe you’ve tried investing in your mental or physical health, but because the changes aren’t obvious immediately, you stop. But trust me when I say, the little bit we do every day makes a huge long-term difference.
That’s why I’m able to go into these support groups now and offer encouragement. I’ve practiced the compound effect of getting up every day and checking in with myself. I’ve built a routine of silence, affirmation, visualization, exercise, reading, and writing. It saved me. It continues to save me.
So, wherever you are today—whether you’re trying to feel better emotionally, improve your relationships, or just get through the day—don’t miss the importance of the little things you do every day. Those small actions build-up, and before you know it, they’ve transformed your life. If we overlook them, though, we can wake up one day feeling like we’ve been blindsided by a storm we didn’t see coming.
That’s what I want to share with you today. Don’t miss the compound effect of whatever you’re working on, no matter how small the effort feels. It matters. Keep going.
So, if you’re working on your emotional health, relationships, or any other goal—don’t miss the importance of those small, daily actions. They do add up to long-term success.
