The Quiet Season Starts Now

Hey there! 💜

This week has been… slow. Maybe it’s the record-breaking cold (Toronto, why are you like this?), or maybe it’s just winter doing its usual thing—aka turning me into a hermit who lives under five blankets. But weirdly, it’s also been the perfect backdrop for a little life reminder that I heard on a podcast this week:

“Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want right now.”

The best part? It applies to everything—fitness, work, food, social media, dating… even how many times you snooze your alarm.

We get ahead by doing what we don’t feel like doing—and the best part? It gets easier every time. Little by little, choosing yourself becomes your default setting.

So if you’re feeling sluggish or stuck this week, this episode is for you. It’s a cozy pep talk, a motivational push, and a reminder that even when it’s minus a million outside, you can still show up for the life you actually want.

Sending you warmth, willpower, and the strength to say no to instant gratification (and yes to your bigger vision).

Love 💜,

Maria
