Time to Reflect on WINS

 

 

 

"Rather than what you have left undone, 
focus on what you have accomplished.
  ~ Judy Wardell ~


 

TIME TO REFLECT ON WINS

We're just past mid-year and now is a great time to reflect on what you have accomplished thus far. Success is a process, not an event. All big successes, big changes, begin with baby steps. When we take the time to acknowledge the process and all the action taken, successful or otherwise along the way, when we get to the finish line we can truly take in what we have accomplished.

Time to Reflect on WINS

Take time to focus on what has worked. Notice what has been accomplished, not what remains undone. When you acknowledge your actions, your wins, you build a foundation of inner support and self-confidence. You begin to trust yourself, knowing that you act in your own best interests and on your own behalf. Knowing this, you begin to relax into the beauty of your own friendship and support and life gets easier.

I encourage you to take time, before you go to bed tonight, to list at least FIVE positive changes you've made so far this year. As a matter of fact, go for ten or even more. I bet if you hold the intention of finding 10 you will do so and even greater.

Read the list in the morning and add to it if anything pops into your mind. Notice how you feel. I bet you feel good.

If you like feeling good, do the exercise daily, on a smaller scale. Write down 5 positive things, wins, successes that occur each day.

When you commit to this as a daily practice, what will happen is you will be programming the reticular activating system in your brain to begin to NOTICE the good, the positive, the wins and successes. Small successes breed bigger ones. The more you can acknowledge the little wins, the more momentum you will build to create larger ones.

It all adds up. All of it matters. You matter. Act like you matter. Notice the good, the blessings, the love, and write it down. It's yours.
