When was the last time you thought about really everything you accomplished in a week and said, “dang, I really did do some pretty cool things?” “Man, looking back I really did win my week.”
Mentally, we tend to focus on the negative or the losses more than the fact that we did some pretty remarkable things. We blow off the important wins and replace them with the self- sabotaging negative losses. It happens, but we can change it.
How?
I use a planner that asked me each week to record 3-5 wins. I write them down each Sunday. Because the wins put me in productive, energized state of mind, I then create my plan for the week and what I want to accomplish. The wins, allow me to build momentum off of the previous week’s successes, which inspires and motivates me to have another successful up coming week.
My recommendation, on Sunday spend 10-20 minutes answering the questions above. Then figure out how to build on those wins during the up coming week. Remember what you pay attention to grows. Paying attention to your success will breed more success, and that will fuel you.
What are my wins this week?
1.) Matthew was home and we got to connect as a family like we have never done before.
2.) I got to video chat with my parents
3.) I got to connect with members who are doing our challenge and help them- helping people really does feed my soul.
4.) I got my workouts completed, and ate very healthy.
5.) I recognized that I missed some of my routine, and created a game plan to get it back in, in a new and creative way.
What are yours? Comment below! Let’s celebrate our wins and build on our success.
