Try this #Microstep this week: Once a day, take a moment to reflect on one thing you’re grateful for. Gratitude is a way to break the cycle of cumulative stress. Think about a person you love, a bright spot in your life, a great dinner you made, or something you’re looking forward to. ??

Pause for a moment and let this Thrive Reset transport you to a place of calm.

Through the Thrive Challenge, people like Andres Guedez are transforming their lives — one Microstep at a time. Originally from Venezuela, Andres came to the U.S. with his father, facing financial challenges and the stress of missing family back home. At first, he struggled to prioritize his health, but with the Thrive Challenge, he discovered the power of small, meaningful changes. By cooking meals that connect him to his roots, building friendships, and rediscovering his love for soccer, Andres has regained resilience, joy, and a sense of community. His story reminds us that small actions — like moving more, spending time with loved ones, and practicing gratitude — can help us build a fulfilling life, no matter where we are.

You don't need to do it all at once. Prioritize what matters most — and leave the rest for another time.

Feeling fatigued or emotionally tapped out at work? These in-the-moment #Microsteps can help.

The first Microstep Brice Driggers took in his Thrive Challenge journey was simple: drink less soda and more water. From there, he continued making small, sustainable changes to improve his health — like swapping out junk food for healthier snacks, taking walks with his dog, and getting active with his kids. As he embraced mindful eating and movement, Brice found the energy and stamina he never thought possible. “I feel like Superman,” he says. “I know I’ll be here for my kids and someday, hopefully, for my grandkids too. This journey isn’t just about losing weight, it’s about making better decisions. It’s like being in a different world. Oh man, I feel alive.” Brice’s story is a great reminder that when we commit to small changes, we can improve our well-being and create a life full of joy and connection.

Breathe in, breathe out, repeat. ??

Positive affirmations are a great in-the-moment strategy to reframe or redirect negative thoughts as they arise. An affirmation is a simple, declarative statement that affirms what you would like to be true. And you can use this strategy anytime, anywhere.
