In this episode, we talk about the power of accumulating small wins throughout your day to manifest change in a positive way.
So many of us only pay attention to the things we didn’t get right or didn’t accomplish. This creates a negative feedback look which undermines our confidence to keep trying. It’s the opposite of motivating!
If this sounds familiar to you, we are going to encourage you to consider a more playful, less overwhelming approach! This approach will help you to:
- Build back trust with yourself
- Generate momentum
- Create motivation and excitement
- Establish healthy habits without a sense of drudgery or restriction
- Start to make choices from a place of love and excitement rather than fear (moving toward something versus away)
- Celebrate ourselves every single day
What should we consider “wins”?
If the goal is to have integrity with ourselves, to set intentions and follow through with them, then a “win” is going to align with this objective.
A small win might be:
- Not hitting snooze
- Taking time for a healthy breakfast
- Packing your lunch
- Going for a walk break at lunch
- Saying no to the meeting pastries
- Packing a healthy snack instead
- Planning a fun weekend activity
- Following through on going to the gym
- Skipping the drive thru on the way home
- Not mindlessly snacking after dinner
The Simple Winning Formula:
- Notice your wins throughout the day (all of them!)
- Write them down or do a voice to text in your Notes app – Keep to yourself or share with a trusted friend while also asking about THEIR wins!
- Get curious about what made these wins possible. Did you get enough sleep? Did you own the pause? Did you prepare ahead of time? Did you harness your perspective?
- Use these wins to celebrate yourself and create your own success formula!
You are winning so much more than you give yourself credit for. Just as a child is motivated when we celebrate their wins, so are we. Love yourself enough to notice when you get things RIGHT and you will be much more likely to show up for yourself with your head held high. You’re awesome; own it.
