Small Daily Habits That Sabotage Your Goals (And How I’m Choosing Messy, Aligned Action)

Send us a text

I’m in a big transition and it feels like the end of an era! My firstborn is moving out with baby Devon, and today I’m talking about the small daily habits that quietly sabotage our goals, plus the simple, aligned fixes I’m using in this messy rollercoaster season.

We dive into:

• Why checking your phone before checking in with yourself sets the tone for anxiety

• How falling into the day without intention leads to coasting instead of creating

• What happens when you put your own well-being at the bottom of the list (and why I’m guilty of this right now)

• The damage of letting negative self-talk run the show

• Procrastination — why we carry it around like a weight and how the only way out is to just start

• Perfectionism as procrastination in disguise — and why messy, aligned action is the way forward

This episode isn’t about doing it all perfectly — it’s about awareness, alignment, compassion, and choosing to begin even when life feels chaotic. If it resonates, share it with someone else who needs it — or come say hi on Instagram @hayleyscottsummers and let me know what landed for you.
