🌟 You're Doing It 🌟
Have you paused recently to celebrate how far you’ve come?
In western society, we're taught to have big dreams or big goals. We're raised to always be looking forward to the next big thing. Yet we forget to turn around and look how far we've come.
How often do you turn around when you've taken a walk or a hike to notice how far you've come?
If we're constantly chasing our dreams, it's important for us to recognize and give ourselves credit for the things we do every day.
I loved this Instagram reel from the Happiness Project about the importance of small steps—it’s so true!
We all want to reach the finish line with big leaps, but it’s those small, daily actions that ultimately get us there.
I regularly remind my clients, friends, and myself, “You’re doing it.”
It’s a good mantra to hold onto when we feel our goals or dreams are just out of reach. (And a client recently sent me a message reminding me that I'm doing it!)
Trusting yourself includes acknowledging your achievements.
That quiet voice of doubt often tries to dismiss our efforts, but what if we flipped the script?
Instead of saying, “I'm not doing enough,” celebrate the fact that you're taking action and moving forward.
We can't always make large leaps, and we shouldn’t. Rushing to jump forward often results in greater setbacks, which can feel discouraging.
No Olympic runner wins a gold medal on their first day of training. They show up every day, learning from falls and improving little by little.
“Personal best” is a term often mentioned at the Olympics, and while you may not be competing for a gold medal, taking small steps toward your dreams is what leads to success.
Some days may feel like three steps forward and five steps back, but starting again will get you farther. The mistakes you make provide the strength to keep moving forward.
Let’s take a moment to celebrate the progress you’ve made. You’re doing it, and every step counts!
This is a great time of year to look back at what you've done so far this year. Or even this week. Or today.
