Give yourself credit.
You’ve already implemented helpful habits, achieved meaningful outcomes, built relationships that matter, saved money, overcome adversity.
Can you look backwards?
When you do, you fuel up on motivation. Your subconscious sees the fruit of the labor, and continues to paddle forward.
That’s why happy and content people are more productive.
But maybe you are in a darker place. You struggle to name your wins.
Find smaller wins!
If you can’t think of any, here’s one:
Congratulate yourself at having read this blog post. In the past 30 seconds, you could have scrolled mindlessly on your News Feed, eaten potato chips, or become irritated with the mailman.
But instead you directed your time and attention to reading a post that could influence your future flourishing.
I’m not trying to pat myself on the back….I’m inviting you to pat your own.
You are worthy of it.
Credit
