Mindset Minute: How to Set ‘Micro Goals’ for Lasting Change
Ever feel overwhelmed by the size of your dreams? We often set massive goals, only to find ourselves stuck, intimidated by their sheer scale.
That’s where micro goals come in—small, achievable actions that help build momentum and lead to meaningful growth over time.
Micro goals let you move forward without the pressure to be perfect right out of the gate.
Start with these simple strategies to get the ball rolling:
Set a Tiny First Step:
Choose a micro goal that feels almost too easy—like writing one sentence if your goal is to journal daily.
The purpose is to eliminate any resistance to starting, so you’ll take that small action regularly.Stack It Onto a Routine:
Link your new goal to something you already do, like stretching for 30 seconds right after brushing your teeth.
Tying it to an existing habit creates a rhythm, making it easier to build consistency without overthinking.Reflect and Celebrate:
Take a moment to recognize even the smallest progress.
Whether it’s a mental high-five or jotting it down in a notebook, each tiny win builds confidence and keeps you motivated for the next step.
Micro goals work because they focus on sustainable progress rather than immediate, perfect results. Over time, they’ll guide you toward the bigger vision you have for yourself.

To progress, one small step at a time,
