Welcome to Snail Pace Transformations! My name is Victoria, and I am the blogger behind Snail Pace Transformations.
There is an old saying that states, “Inch by inch, life’s a cinch. Yard by yard, life’s hard.” I think there is a lot of wisdom in that saying, which is why I named my blog after one of the slowest creatures on earth and made its tagline “transforming life inch by inch.”
I gave up on quick-fix plans a long time ago in favor of making small changes. I find that I am way more successful at transforming my life this way — and I think you will be too.
The Mission Of Snail Pace Transformations
My mission at Snail Pace Transformations is to help women find the time and money they need to pursue their passions while maintaining balance in their lives. I want to see homemakers go from surviving to thriving.
I have set and achieved ambitious goals—running three full marathons and writing a book—but I believe the best way to reach them is to break them down into small, incremental steps.
Reaching goals too fast only sets you up for a fall. If you want to make any goal stick, you have to learn how to create habits along the journey to your goal that will stick with you for life. Forming habits takes time.
Many say a habit forms in just 30 days, but new research suggests it can take up to 90 days or more. I agree. How many 30-day programs have you tried only to slip back into bad habits shortly after the program finished?
Reaching your goals slowly works! Not only does the snail-like pace allow you more time to develop positive habits, but it also gives you more time to enjoy other areas of your life as well.
Going Slow Avoids Burnout
Many people burn out while pursuing a goal because they become overly focused on the pace of reaching it, forgetting to make time for other priorities in their health and relationships. When you break down your goals into tiny, snail-paced pieces, you have time for self-care and to spend time with your loved ones.
What You Will Find Here At Snail Pace Transformations
Three things that often hold people back from pursuing their goals and dreams are a lack of money, time, and grit. I write content that helps you overcome these three barriers to a life that leaves you feeling fulfilled.
The bulk of the articles you will find written on Snail Pace Transformations cover the following topics:
1. Money-Saving Tips
We are a family that has thrived on one income for more than two decades. To achieve this, we have learned to stretch every dollar earned to the max so that we have money left over after paying the bills to enjoy life.
2. Work From Home Ideas
It would be nice if all financial problems could be solved by spending less, but the truth is that, for most of us, it takes a combination of spending less and earning more to make our financial and personal dreams a reality.
I have added to our family income through various at-home jobs for more than 20 years. I also love researching various ways other women have done the same, and sharing them with my readers.
3. Ways To Get Organized And Save Time
Time management and household/life management go hand in hand in creating the time you need to both relax and enjoy your loved ones, as well as do what you need to save money and earn more, so that you can afford to chase after your dreams.
4. A Bit Of This And That
The blogging experts say “don’t go off-topic,” but I don’t follow that rule. Sometimes I find solutions to issues that have been bothering me, and I feel compelled to share them with others who may be facing the same problems.
That is why you will find articles on topics that may seem off-topic compared with what I regularly blog about, such as “Ways to Ease Plantar Fasciitis Pain.”
