The BE > YESTERDAY Formula
Small Wins, Big Changes: BE > YESTERDAY
We’ve been trained to look for big wins.
The highlight reel. The major breakthrough. The transformation photo.
But true, lasting performance doesn’t come from one big moment – it’s built through the quiet, daily effort of choosing better. Choosing progress over perfection. Choosing to show up, even when it’s hard.
At Rehab 2 Perform, we believe that small wins lay the foundation for long-term performance. That 1% improvement, done consistently, has the power to change everything.
Why the 1% Mindset Works
Improving by 1% may not seem like much in the moment. But if you’re 1% better today – stronger, more mobile, more focused, more recovered, and you stack those small wins day after day?
You don’t just grow. You compound.
James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, explains it like this: “If you get 1% better each day for one year, you’ll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you’re done.”
That’s the BE > YESTERDAY formula in action.
What Does 1% Look Like?
- Taking 5 minutes to do your mobility work before your workout
- Swapping one junk meal for real fuel
- Pausing mid-day to stretch, breathe, and reset
- Showing up to your strength session even when motivation’s low
- Booking a recovery session because you deserve to feel good in your body
None of these actions are huge. But each one moves you forward.
Performance Is Built in the Process
Whether you’re chasing a faster mile, a stronger squat, or simply the ability to move with freedom and energy each day – performance is about consistency.
And consistency thrives when the goal is simple:
Just get a little better than you were yesterday.
You don’t need perfection. You need purpose.
At R2P, we help you identify the small, meaningful adjustments that can drive your performance forward.
Your Growth Is Already Happening
Look back at where you started. What felt heavy, awkward, or challenging before may now feel smooth, automatic, even easy.
That’s the proof of your progress.
Now, imagine what the next 30 days could bring. Not from pushing to the max, but from showing up with intention – every day.
That’s how change happens. That’s what BE > YESTERDAY is all about.
3 Ways to Put the 1% Formula into Action This Week
1. Choose a Daily Anchor Habit
Pick one simple, repeatable behavior that supports your movement or mindset. Try 10 bodyweight squats each morning, a 5-minute posture reset midday, or stretching during your evening wind-down.
2. Do a 10-Minute Movement Session
Not a full workout – just movement with intention. It could be mobility drills, a short walk, or some core activation. What matters is showing up, not going all out.
3. Track Your Small Wins for 7 Days
Create a “BE > YESTERDAY” note on your phone or notebook. Jot down one way you improved each day – physically, mentally, or emotionally. Momentum follows awareness.
