Week One – 25 Days of Small Wins

This week is about getting back in touch with your body and celebrating small wins. No perfection, no all-or-nothing thinking, just small actions that help you feel more grounded and in control. These simple steps might look tiny, but they create momentum. They help you notice how you’re coping, where your energy sits, and what feels good for you right now.  Perfect for midlife women, small steps with big intentions..

Measure Your Blood Pressure
Understanding your blood pressure gives you a baseline. This is useful, especially in midlife when stress, hormones, sleep and lifestyle can all influence how your body responds. Measure at home or at your local pharmacy, knowing your numbers gives you clarity rather than guesswork.  For more details check out my video here 

4×4 Breath Reset
This is a quick, powerful nervous-system reset. Four seconds in, four hold, four out, four hold. Repeat a few times. It’s the kind of mini reset that stops stress from building all day and helps your mind settle.

Kettle Squats
Movement doesn’t have to be complicated. Every time you boil the kettle, try doing 10 squats. It strengthens your legs, boosts circulation and wakes your body up. These little bursts really add up.

Food Planning
Ten minutes of planning saves you from “what’s for tea” panic and late-night snacking. You don’t need a full meal plan. Just decide on a few dinners and keep it realistic. Reduces stress, stabilises energy, and keeps your blood sugar steadier.

Shoulder Press with Tins
Stronger shoulders mean better posture, fewer aches and more confidence carrying daily loads. Grab two tins or water bottles and press overhead for 10 reps. Repeat two or three times. This is simple strength building, perfect for busy midlife women.

Time Out = Win
Fifteen minutes with your phone away can feel like magic. Sit with a drink, breathe, and give your mind space. Rest isn’t a reward. It’s a need. And it’s a huge part of recovery.

Squat and Press
If you enjoyed the squats and presses, put them together for a one-minute kitchen workout. Squat, press, repeat. Add music if you fancy it. Small steps create big change.

End of Week One
You’ve laid solid foundations. You’ve noticed your body, your habits and your stress levels. Next week is all about reclaiming the energy that feels scattered, stretched or drained.
