The Winter Trick That Saved My Motivation (And It Fits in Your Pocket)

 The Winter Trick That Saved My Motivation (And It Fits in Your Pocket)

A tiny ember can change everything

Have you ever had a winter day where you just… can’t get yourself moving? The world feels colder, heavier, slower, and even the smallest task feels too big. I’ve been there many times. That’s exactly why I started working on my new book The Tiny Ember: Pocket Motivation for Cold Days — because sometimes, all we need is one spark.

When the temperature drops, our motivation drops too. It’s not laziness. It’s not weakness. It’s biology, emotions, and the weight of life. I wanted to create something small and powerful that reminds you your spark is still alive, even when the world feels icy.

The idea behind the “tiny ember” is simple: you don’t need a huge fire to keep going. You just need something small to protect, something warm inside yourself that never fully dies out. Even on the hardest days, there is always a little heat left.

In the book, I talk about how tiny actions can grow into big warmth. Like taking a warm breath. Making a cozy drink. Doing one little task. These tiny things create momentum without stress.

Winter tries to convince us we have no energy. But what if your spark is just hiding? What if it’s waiting for you to cup your hands around it? That’s the heart of this book.

When you learn to build your own warmth — even a little — you stop waiting for motivation to magically appear. You create it. You feed it. You protect it.

You become your own fireplace: steady, warm, and strong.

This book is made for real people with real struggles. People who don’t have all day to reflect or meditate. People who need something simple they can hold onto when life gets cold.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or overwhelmed by winter, this book was written for you.

Your spark is still alive. Let me help you find it.

The Tiny Ember is coming soon… and it’s ready to warm your whole year.
