Sustainable Success Nudge from Your Future Self:
💬 “Sustainable success isn’t created by dramatic shifts—it’s shaped by subtle adjustments made with intention.”

This week: Notice where a small, mindful tweak—not a major overhaul—could change how you’re showing up.


Hi Melinda,

When I think about sustainable success, it’s almost never about big, bold, dramatic change.

It’s about fine-tuning.

Think back to old-school radios—the kind with an actual dial.
You’d crank the dial to land on a station (that was the big move).
But then came the real magic:
that tiny turn to clear the static and bring the signal into clarity and focus.

That’s how sustainable success actually works.

Most people try to crank the dial at the start of a new year.
Big goals. Big promises. Big energy. (Hello By-Me effort)

But the real wins—the ones that last—come from the micro-adjustments:

  • how you transition between tasks
  • how you regulate your energy during the day
  • how intentionally you move from By Me force into Through Me flow

Sometimes it’s not even what you’re doing that needs to change.
It’s how you’re doing it—and the intention you’re bringing with you.

That’s why I pulled together a simple one-page resource straight from the appendix of my Sustainable Success book (page 141 in the hardback):

👉 Download: Seven Simple Self-Care Practices: Small Shifts for Immediate Impact

These aren’t big changes.
They’re subtle adjustments—the kind that clear the static and bring you back into alignment.

If you want to go deeper, you’ll find this list in the appendix of the book—but this one page is more than enough to start fine-tuning now.

Your invitation today:
Don’t ask, “What big change do I need to make?”
Ask instead:
“What’s one small adjustment that would bring me into clearer alignment?”

That’s where sustainable success is built—moment by moment.

With clarity (and a gentler grip on the dial),
Melinda
