With MS, we often wait for “real progress” before we let ourselves feel good.

But what if showing up at all was worth celebrating?

Behavioural science says: progress fuels the brain.

And it doesn’t care how small it is.

In Episode 5 of Walk a Myelin My Shoes, we talk about:

Why tracking the tiniest wins boosts motivation

How to train your brain to notice effort

And how to actually celebrate small stuff (without confetti… unless you want confetti)

Because nothing is too small to count—especially when your nervous system is doing a full-time job just keeping you upright.

Here’s a secret from behavioural science:

You don’t need to “feel like it” to start.

In Episode 4 of Walk a Myelin My Shoes, I talk about the days when MS makes everything feel heavy—and how to make starting easier.

Because motivation usually shows up after you take action, not before.

This week’s tool?

Minimum Viable Action.

Think:

“Put on the socks.”

“Sit on the chair.”

“Do one stretch.”

Because it’s not about doing it all—it’s about getting in the door.

With MS, our brains are working overtime.

Tiny decisions, habits, remembering things—it all adds up. Fast.

This week on Walk a Myelin My Shoes, I share one simple shift that helped me finally stick to a routine. Spoiler: it wasn’t motivation.

It was moving the vitamin bottle next to the kettle.

Seriously.

Turns out, your environment has way more power than you think.
