If you have a tendency to focus on the negative, you’re not alone.
Sometimes, I fall into this trap, too.
I might be having a conversation about health and fitness with a friend or family member and ask a question like, “What are you struggling with?”
That’s kind of a negative way to start a conversation, don’t you think? It assumes that the person is struggling and puts them on the defensive … as opposed to focusing on what they’re succeeding with and building off of that.
We do this to ourselves all the time, and it’s time to recognize it … and stop doing it.
Because it’s not helping.
Don’t start these negative conversations with yourself.
Focus on the positives.
Celebrate the wins, no matter how small.
A long-term accomplishment would be, “I lost 30 pounds!” That’s certainly an achievement worth celebrating, but it’s not going to happen today.
And you never would’ve lost the 30th pound if you hadn’t lost the first one. Duh … that’s just math 🙂
So my advice for today is not to focus on the destination. Focus on the process … the small improvements that you make every day, which add up to big results.
So along those lines, what’s ONE SMALL WIN that you’ve had over the past week? It might be something that you didn’t notice because you didn’t think it mattered.
But now you know, it does.
A lot.
Take a moment to share one win from the past week with me. I’d love to celebrate it with you. 🙂
