Summary

When you feel like you're running in place, not making progress, feeling overwhelmed becomes the norm.

Often we gloss over smaller accomplishments, focusing on grand milestones out in the distance. We are biologically wired to focus on the negative, but that doesn't mean you can't take control and flip the script. By celebrating small wins we begin to rewire our brains to recognize the progress we are making.

In this episode, I share my experience learning how to celebrate daily, weekly, and monthly wins and why this practice transformed my mindset. Momentum comes from the thoughts that we say to ourselves.

Enjoy!

0:00.0	Hey everybody, what's up?
0:06.6	Happy to be in your ears again for another episode of the show.
0:09.6	And today's show is a special show.
0:12.2	It's a micro show.
0:13.8	And it's about something that I have realized many times in my life, but like so many of us and with so many things, we remember them,
0:22.4	we celebrate them, acknowledge them for a second, and we throw them away and like, oh, yeah,
0:25.7	and we forget. We haven't completely integrated this thought or an important thought into our
0:32.9	life. And that is why, in part, this is a reminder to myself, which is part of what I love about
0:42.6	these micro shows. If you're wondering if I'm just doing this for your good, or maybe there's
0:48.8	a little bit of reminders for myself in there, it's definitely the latter. So this has come up for me a couple
0:56.7	times in the past. I would call it maybe three months. And it's this. It is celebrating small
1:04.7	wins. Now, we can all look back at our life or a career or our arc within a relationship or with a sport
1:14.1	or something and probably find some success. And yet we are so quick to dismiss it. And that often
1:25.7	leads to a dialogue inside our own head, which I feel like is unhealthy.
1:33.3	And what I've realized is I needed to find a way in my life to continue to bring not just, you
1:41.0	know, the milestones in our careers forward. That's very helpful. But how to celebrate,
1:47.7	say, at the end of every day, week, month, or what, it's a small increment that we can do to
1:53.9	reinforce that we're making progress, which, after all, that is a huge aspect of what it means to be
2:00.6	human, what it means to feel fulfilled.
2:03.4	So in my own effort to start to do a better job of celebrating small wins, I wanted to share
2:10.4	a few thoughts on this with you. The first one is maybe why do we not do this already?
2:17.3	Just so you know, you're not, you know, you're not crazy.
