When do Small Wins Create Big impact...? When we look beyond what they were and instead see WHY they matter!
Why are you proud of yourself today? I'll share the simple reason why I'm all smiles today: I finished something I started.
I struggle with doing NOTHING. With not working at least a few hours every day, with not beating myself up for relaxing my brain without a specific reason (vacation, surgery, etc.)
So this weekend, I turned off my business brain and gave it the longest break it's had- for no reason- in YEARS. I binged watched Reacher and that dude who jumps ropes to music. I sat in a sauna and meditated fully. I watched Roman Holiday for the first time and Singing in the Rain for the 100th.
What happened today that made me proud of myself...? I easily completed an action that I've been half-assing and putting off for months! Without a doubt, that break gave me more focus today, and a recharged soul that appreciated the brain break so much that it rewarded me this small but important win- are you ready...?
I set up my Instagram grid template and pinned my posts. I know, I know... INCREDIBLE accomplishment. (read ALL the sarcasm here)
Small woopitydoooo task, right? Except for me, it's not. Not because it's going to close a 5-figure deal, or go viral, or even change lives.
It’s a big woop because it represented a much needed behavioral change that resulted in a clear and focused mind. It brought me a missing level of self awareness.
I didn't realize how far out of alignment I had fallen until I FELT the difference of being completely in sync, versus the subconscious internal fight that has stymied completion of a simple task for months. EVERYTHING in me wanted to get it done and- without a second of distracting or self-defeating thought- I DID the damn thing.
Just completing the grid resulted in more than the IG posts- it effortlessly created this blog post, LinkedIn article and grid greats for the next 8 weeks, DONE.
Doesn't seem like such a small woopitydoooo now, does it?
So again, I ask you, why are you proud of yourself today...?
