Do you ever struggle to feel like your day was a “win?"
Is it difficult for you to identify if you win ever in life? Or if you are winning, at what?
I know I do.
Here is our quote for today’s lift:
“Tiny victories are like gems scattered on your journey. Notice them.” Emma Xu.
Maybe the question we should be asking ourselves is not, where am I winning? (Because I promise, you are winning somewhere…) but am I able to notice every tiny victory over the course of my day?
Us humans are funny…
It seems to be easy for us to think of all we NEED to do, all we DREAM of doing, all we STRIVE to do… but much harder for us to celebrate all we have ALREADY DONE.
If we go about life only stopping to appreciate the ‘big stuff,’ our celebration will be few and far between.
Imagine if you took notice of all the tiny victories. Imagine the joy and gratitude you would experience… day after day… victory after victory… each time you simply pause to take each into account.
Maybe your win for the day is checking off one thing on that to do list, probably not everything but one thing! You are on your way! What if your win is that you scheduled a date night with your spouse for the first time in a long time. It won’t fix everything but you just took a step in a new direction! What if you did a 20 minute YouTube workout sometime today? You probably won’t drop a single pound because of one workout but you sure will take a first step on a journey that could change your physical health for life! Or maybe you could reach out and let a friend know you are struggling. Thats a win! You let someone in on your journey to getting well! What will become abundantly clear to you each day is this… The Big Win is actually the skill of noticing the small wins. Don’t miss even one!
I can’t wait for you to drop those insurmountable expectations of yourself. To break free from the self deprecating thought process… and live a life full of gratitude for how you have won each day.
