Importance of small wins

Sometimes, growth isn't about the big finish line but the small steps you take toward it.

Recently, I’ve been training for a marathon, which I haven’t done in over six years.

Two months ago, I could barely manage 2 km, but I kept training and it became 5 km, then 5, 8, 10 and yesterday I completed 13 km.

While I haven’t completed the marathon yet, I see proof that I’m moving in the right direction.

Celebrate these small wins. They build momentum and boost your confidence. More importantly, it creates a positive feedback loop, strengthening your commitment to the process.

I’m going to celebrate at one of my favourite restaurants today.

Have a great Monday, folks!

Today’s Prompts

“What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

4 - The 'If you don’t have time’ Prompt

List something memorable that happened today or yesterday.

Get the most out of your journalling:

• Choose one prompt: Focus on just one prompt each day to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

• Be brutally honest: Reflect openly and honestly. This is your safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings.

• Take your time: Sometimes it takes a few days to clarify your thinking. Here’s permission for you to take your time to unravel a prompt and not take on any new ones during that time.

• Journal your way: Whether you prefer writing, audio recording, or video, choose the method that suits you best.

• Don't stress about streaks: If you miss a day, don't worry. You can always revisit a previous prompt.

I’d love your feedback
