Small Wins

Two weeks ago I set 3, easily achievable, daily goals. I did well on it. It got me out the door for an extra walk when I didn’t feel like it, had me reaching for a book instead of my phone after lunch and I did my mobility work every night after dinner.

Last week, I didn’t plan to hit these goals everyday like the week before. I made the mistake of assuming it would happen without as much effort. But then it was rainy, raw and cool out. Scrolling my phone became easier than reading and I found myself really needing some mobility work near the end of the week.

It was still too new to not require any effort. I thought, I already made all these small wins, they’ll just happen this week. We must be active with our goals, we must respect the weight they carry and be willing to strive for them.

I’m being a little more deliberate this week about setting goals. I wrote them dow in my notebook where I’ll look at them every day. I hope you’ll join me and set some realistic goals to keep you focused this week.
