Day 21: Keep the Momentum Going. This is Your Launch Pad to Lasting Balance

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but welcome to Day 21 of the Stacking Balance Challenge: 21 Micro Shifts for Lasting Results! And you’re here. You made it.

Take a second and let that sink in.

I don’t know if you fully understand just how impressive this is. I don’t know if you realize how rare it is to follow through from start to finish. If we pulled up the video counts, I guarantee Day 1 has more views than today. But you are here on Day 21.

That means something.

That means you’re different. You’re a finisher. You’ve committed. You’ve built momentum. You’ve likely done this alongside your accountability pod, lifting each other up along the way. You’ve turned off distractions, reclaimed your focus, and stacked powerful habits.

And the results? They’re undeniable.

• You’ve smiled more.
• Hugged more.
• Moved more.
• Felt more peace.
• And you’ve created more balance in your life!

And science backs this up.

• Day 4: Gratitude practice increases happiness by 25%.
• Day 6: Just keeping your phone in another room boosts focus by 10%.
• Day 13: Expressing gratitude through texts strengthens relationships and lowers stress levels.
• Day 19: Letting go and donating reduces cortisol and creates mental clarity.

You didn’t overhaul your life in the past 21 days. You made small, 1% shifts. But stacked together, these shifts became powerful.

This is the compound effect in action. Small daily choices shape your life more than big, one-time actions. You didn’t need more willpower—you just needed small, repeatable actions that created momentum. And now, you get to take that momentum forward.

One Last Micro Shift—Your Next Best Step to Keep the Momentum Going

Here’s the secret: I never intended for this challenge to end today.

It may be the last day of this series, but it’s not the end of your progress. Today isn’t your finish line—it’s your launch pad. You’ve done the work, you’ve built the habits, and now you get to decide: Where do you want to go next?

That’s why today’s micro shift is about figuring out your next best step with my Simple Life Assessment.

Your Next Step: The Simple Life Assessment

To continue building on this momentum, you must have your Stacking Balance Resource Pack. If you haven’t downloaded it yet, grab it now!

Inside, you’ll find the Simple Life Assessment, which I walk through in depth in Episode 84 of my podcast (The Simple Assessment That Can Make Every Area of Your Life Better). This is a tool I use with my private clients and inside my group membership to help pinpoint exactly where to focus next.

Here’s how it works:

1. Rate each area of your life from 1 to 10.
   • 1 = Struggling (feels heavy, hard, overwhelming)
   • 5 = Mediocre (just okay, room for improvement)
   • 10 = Thriving (so good you could write a book about it)
   The categories:
   • Health & Wellness
   • Time Management & Productivity
   • Family & Relationships
   • Home & Organization
   • Personal Growth & Fun
   • Work & Business
   • Finances
2. Answer three True/False bonus questions:
   • Novelty: Am I experiencing new things regularly?
   • Interaction: Am I meaningfully connecting with others?
   • Service: Am I contributing beyond myself?
3. Find your lowest score and focus there first.
   • If your health is low, start by drinking one more glass of water or walking 500 extra steps.
   • If your home feels cluttered, do a five-minute evening reset.
   • If your relationships feel strained, commit to one intentional check-in per day.
4. Stack your next micro shifts.
   • The goal isn’t to go from a 3 to a 10 overnight.
   • The goal is to move from a 3 to a 4, then a 4 to a 5—one small shift at a time.

Keep the Momentum AND Accountability Going

Text your accountability pod and tell them your focus area and your first micro shift. This isn’t just about feeling better for 21 days—it’s about creating lasting balance in every area of your life.

You are proof that small, intentional shifts create powerful transformation. This is your new lifestyle—on your terms.

My Final Challenge to You:

Keep going. Keep stacking. Keep growing. You’ve got this.
