bali doesn’t always go to plan, but every day she surprises me in the best way possible.

✨ a little bali magic, whatever your vibe

we made the trek from umalas to the pyramids of chi in ubud, & it was quite the lengthy journey… but oh my what an experience.

the grounds were beautiful, the coffee was good & the food is all vegan. 🌱

my chickpea salad was… well, chickpeas 😂 next time, i’m definitely choosing a hot meal!

but the real treat was inside the pyramid. lying back, listening to the gongs & letting the sound take me somewhere else entirely. a real treat for the soul & such a pleasure to experience & share with my gal pals.

spiritual or simply curious, i’d say it’s worth a visit. 🌴

sound healing or sound annoying, what are your thoughts?

🇹🇭 trading one tropical paradise for another

& that’s how our august ended… 😂

from bali to phuket, with questionable tuk-tuk playlists, a little muay thai madness, beach days & the most incredible carnival of lights (with 9 world records, that massive popcorn machine is 1)

family adventures, happy memories, the “we have plenty of time to get to airport’ missed flight … family holidays are never what you actually expect but that’s thrill I guess.

🦋 wouldn’t have it any other way.

& somewhere in there ben decided two drinks were better than one. 😂

I didn’t skip the workout because I was lazy. I skipped it because I didn’t want to wake my husband rummaging in the dark. Poor excuse given that he’s a deep sleeper, but it was rational in my mind.

There I’d be, 6am, half motivated, genuinely intending to move my body & then I’d remember the sports bra was somewhere in the drawer, the leggings were probably on the chair in the corner, and the socks were anyone’s guess.
Too much noise. Too much effort. Too much risk of waking my overtired hubby.

So I’d put it off till later. And later, as later tends to do, never came.

Small Win #4 fixed what no habit tracker ever did.
The night before — not folded, not perfect, just gathered. Mismatched sports bra, old leggings, one sock that doesn’t match the other. Dropped in a visible spot on the bedroom chair. That’s it. That’s the whole win.

Because when the mood takes you at 6am, it’s already sorted. No rummaging. No excuses. No accidentally elbowing your husband in the dark & losing the moral high ground before breakfast.

None of it looked like a wellness routine. All of it removed the one thing that was quietly talking me out of moving my body every single morning.

Friction. That’s all it was. Not laziness. Not lack of motivation. Just friction ai never thought to remove.

Over half of women aren’t moving as much as they’d like. I’d bet most of them have a version of the dark bedroom rummage in their excuse bank too

Consider this your friction removal.

Share this with the friend who you can go walking with on a Saturday, & then coffee & rant with afterwards.

Nobody told me the guilt was the actual problem. Not the exercise.

I used to think being healthy meant being active. More steps. More discipline. More guilt when I didn’t do either.

I’d catch myself running through everything I hadn’t done for myself that day. The walk I skipped. The vitamins I didn’t take. The stretch I kept putting off. And instead of ending the day feeling okay, I’d feel like I’d failed myself. Again.
That went on for years, decades even. So I set big challenges like 100 days of yoga to stay accountable and focused but by the time the countdown was over I felt like I could ease off which ended up being no yoga at all. For months at times.

Then I started doing something different. Not a programme. Not a transformation. Just small, almost embarrassingly tiny things woven into the day I was already having.

Ten sit-ups after a bathroom visit, a deliberate forward fold as I was putting the washing out. Carrying the shopping basket instead of using the trolley. Relocating the cat. That counts too, can you see my face going red, Dumpling is such a pudding 🐱

None of it looked like wellness, all of it made me feel productive.

And here’s what changed, not my body at first, but the feeling at that shone over me at the end of the day. That quiet little yes, I did something for me today. No guilt. No self-hate. No I’ll do better tomorrow. Just a small win, banked.
That’s why Im banking Small Wins & launching a Small Wins Club to build a community of ‘give us a break’ woman. We’re not doing more, we’re just doing enough, with a little intention, to change how you feel at the end of a busy day.

I’ve read that over half of all women aren’t moving as much as they’d like. Not because they’re lazy but because because the bar is too high and nobody gave them permission to lower it. Consider this your permission.

Yes : to wellness. But : make it yours.

The yoga wearing pjs in your lounge kinda yours.

Not the influencer with the 4:30am alarm & the cold plunge. Not the woman on your FYP who batch cooks seventeen meals on a Sunday.

Yours.

Yoga in the shala or yoga in the lounge. Both count. Both are the practice.

Doable wellness isn’t a programme. It’s permission to stop copying someone else’s routine & start noticing what actually works for you.

That’s Small Wins Club way. That’s why we’re here.

Save this for the next time you feel like you’re doing wellness wrong.

It took me 4 years to open this box. Took 20 minutes to love its contents.

It moved with me through 3 three house moves & a lot of “I’ll deal with that later.” Today I finally sorted it properly & found things I’d completely forgotten about….like the Grease badge & a locket my dad gave me during their divorce. Small treasures, totally forgotten about until about 20 minutes ago.

That’s the whole win. One box. Some nice surprises. Nothing to dramatic, but feels like a small win.
