Small triumphs
Feb 07, 2018Wouldn’t it be great if we could quickly and easily move from point A to point Z when we’re working on a new goal? Some days it takes all you’ve got to keep up with the losers. Other days unfold so beautifully that they seem scripted by an award-winning screenwriter.
Is your life filled with big, beautiful, glorious victories on a regular basis?Probably not. I know mine isn’t. Which is why it’s important to find the joy in the small triumphs that happen each and every day, especially as you work on a new goal.
What’s a small triumph? This morning I made a phone call rather than hide behind email to have a necessary conversation. I stretched out of my comfort zone and accomplished what I needed to.
Other small triumphs:
- asking for help
- tackling that one to-do item
- walking up the stairs instead of using the elevator
- stopping at two cookies
- taking a deep breath (or seven) instead of yelling at the car in front of you
