If you’re constantly pushing yourself, setting goals, and feeling like you should be doing more — this short walking episode is for you.

This Healing Mini Mile is a gentle, encouraging walk designed to help you slow down, release self-pressure, and recognize the progress you’re already making. It’s not about quitting on your goals — it’s about learning how to move forward without constantly judging yourself or feeling behind.

This walk is a reminder that growth doesn’t only come from pushing harder. It also comes from pausing, breathing, and giving yourself credit for showing up — even in small, quiet ways.

During this short walk, you’ll:

  • Release the pressure you put on yourself to always do more
  • Learn how to acknowledge progress without lowering your standards
  • Shift from self-criticism to self-respect
  • Practice realistic ways to support your energy and momentum
  • End with calming affirmations to help you feel steadier and more grounded

This episode is perfect for:

  • Anyone feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or hard on themselves
  • People working toward health, wellness, or personal growth goals
  • Listeners who want motivation without guilt or pressure
  • A quick reset walk when life feels heavy or nonstop

You’ll also hear about the 365 Daily Wellness Deck, a simple daily tool created to help you stay connected to yourself with short encouraging messages, gentle movement ideas, and moments of stillness — all without rules or perfection and you can find it here:

Take this walk as a reminder:
You’re doing more than you think.
You’re allowed to grow at your own pace.
And giving yourself a break is part of real self-care.

Whenever you need a moment to breathe, the coordinating Healing Minute episode - You're Doing Enough - a short guided meditation, is waiting for you.
