Can you change your mindset in 1 day? This woman says YES!
I believe in the power of Tiny Actions sustainably, consciously, and soulfully applied.
In fact, I’ve witnessed so much more actual transformation with this approach than the deep dives into a HUGE INTENTION.
The HUGE intention starts off with a bang and then kinda fades a way without a peep. Think how many New Year’s resolutions and big plans you’ve thought up … and then laid down. Or rather, they laid themselves down for a long winter’s nap when you weren’t even looking.
The reason most goals or resolutions FAIL is because they are
S-C-A-T-T-E-R-E-D.
Scattered intentions are easily discarded, especially when they are believed at a subconscious level to be unreachable. As if the mind whispers (in a really creepy voice), “You know, you’ve already tried this a bunch of times and it hasn’t worked out. Maybe it’s best to forget about this dream. It’s probably out of your league or too much to accomplish this time around. Not to worry, you’re good.”
The insidious voice is tricky. It has a gravitational pull which maintains your set point (your habitual way of living) rather than your goals.
When you lay down that goal (again), the voice changes then. Still creepy, it whispers of things better left undone because of some inherent less than capable aspect of your nature. Such rubbish, this sneaky, creepy influential inner voice
So, I was pleased to receive an email from someone who was S-H-0-C-K-E-D by the rapid changes in her mindset after just a single day.
“Kathy! I set my sights on the wealth of knowledge from the Sacred Intent Retreat being life altering.” [Side note …. great intention. Feel free to steal it!] It certainly was! My reprogramming of old mindsets through Tiny Actions and Heart Assisted Therapy techniques made a profound difference. I’m grateful, yet shocked, to see how quickly my mindset changed!!”
Now, you may be wondering just how long these Tiny Tweaks have stayed around. Given human nature and the tendency to resort back to the zone of comfort called “habit.”
With the application of a number of new habits, techniques, AND tweaky mindsets, the tiny grew into huge transformation for that woman.
While the specifics aren’t mine to share, lets just say they covered just about every area of life. And, no, the tiny in Tiny Action wasn’t really medium size, nor extra large. It was so teeny that it gave me pause.
I recall thinking “Now, THAT is one TINY action.”
Yup. My “mindset habit” wondered if that teeny movement in perspective and action would make any difference. I learned something from that lady. A lot actually.
In fact, I am now a super fan of the Tiny Action sustainably and soulfully executed.
I’ve applied tiny movements in all areas of my life over the past 10 months since the first Sacred Intent Retreat was offered. All I can say is that I am rocking the tiny into an art form. And, I am directly experiencing massive shifts in all areas of my life.
You can join the experiment next time I offer the Sacred Intent Retreat. We’ll explore the intersection of spiritual, energetic, and success principles in a practical way .. applied YOUR way to YOUR life.
Don’t take my, or her, word for it. Explore these principles on your own. Imagine a day where you explore the area(s) of your Life that are calling you. And create a meaningful plan that you can successfully execute … with the help of the PlayBook you go home with. This “tiny” taste is just the tip of the iceberg.
Peace be with you and with all. No exceptions.
When you’re setting a goal, you activate the competitive nature of your willpower. Health psychologist, Kelly McGonigal, describes willpower as a competition between the part of you wanting immediate gratification. And that part focused on long term results. Four interventions can tip the scales in the direction of long-term goal achievement. Get enough sleep. Meditate 10 minutes a day. Get some exercise. Eat a plant based and low glycemic diet. All support the brain’s optimal functioning which are critical for staying on track with goals aligned with your core values. Keeping your energy efficient and enhancing your decision making.
Learn the one essential skill that allows you to face any challenge with confidence, sturdiness, and inner calm.
More than a technique. It’s a game changer.
When standing at a crossroad in your life, it’s natural to seek answers. To search for certainty about your next steps. To want assurance that the decision you are making will lead you in the right direction, with the best possible outcome. Here’s where your mind jumps in.
There are conversations you may instinctively avoid. Death. Dying. The journey beyond are among them. The final exhale. The closing of the body. The long walk home. The next place of being. In many ancient traditions, this is not an ending, but a sacred passage—a birth into new realms of being. Yet here, in this fast-moving world, death often remains veiled in silence, wrapped in fear, and avoided in conversation.

I was playing the game “Headbands” with my dog the other day. Playing board games and interactive games like charades are good fun. Given my kid has flown the coop, we hoodwinked our dog to play a rousing game of Headbands with us. We even let Milo choose the first card, but he seemed to have a hard time guessing what his card said.
As you celebrated the Summer Solstice and the New Moon this past week, our beloved shamans who are South of the Equator were celebrating the Winter Solstice in Cusco, Peru. Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, takes place on June 24th to commemorate the beginning of the Inca New Year and the Winter Solstice. Originating in the 15th century by Emperor Pachakuti, Inti Raymi was created as major Inca festival to honor the sun god Inti.
These past months have been filled with confusion, anger, and fear for many in this country. Witnessing deportations without due process, assaults on the courts and universities, flip flopping tariffs, and military action have shaken the foundational sense of safety and justice for many Americans. I’ve been listening to you and engaging in many conversations about how to live in balance during these times.
