I love Fridays 
This week has flown by for me…tons of things to do and tons of
things accomplished.
I have a flaw, I often focus on what is to be done vs. looking at what
has been. I plan to change that and start celebrating every little
accomplishment on my list of “to do’s”
So this week to name a few:
I got in 4 soon to be 5 AWESOME workouts
I have had 4 Awesome days of drinking my water
I got a nap
I got through my inbox
I accomplished a lot towards my business
I used my new organizer
I connected with my son through teaching him card games
I spent quality time with my hubby
Now for today a few tiny things I will do:
Pay the bills and sign up for an automatic draft for my phone bill
do an awesome leg workout
make some headway on purchasing my suits for my contest
That sounds doable for me today!!
Remember to celebrate the tiny victories in life…It’s the baby steps
that will get you to your goals.
Love ya, Michelle
live with my list!!
I’m learning how to celebrate the small things (pounds) and not focus on how far I have to go.
Organized baby steps…. Sounds like a plan……
We moved this November, but still have a ton of our stuff at the old house, including a ton of mirrors!! I miss them!!
Awesome!
I tend to do the same thing, thanks for the reminder to focus on the haves instead of the have nots
it’s so easy to forget to focus on the right thing
So I might of failed the challenge but no worries I get down on myself too much sometimes..time to dust myself off and try again ..so tired rn ..gotta get up early like at five ..gunna take advantage of the situation to get a couple workouts in..
For the longest time I avoided mirrors because of my body. I’m just now getting use to looking in them again.
I am behind on workouts this week, but concentrating on the food has really been beneficial to me. Next week it will be putting it all together and then I’m on my way.
yep when we get everything in line it really works nice!!
Love the mirrows at the gym. Ilike to see how strong I am.
D19- I wasn’t looking at the mirrors at all during work outs because I haven’t wanted to face myself… I started looking last week, it is helping.. And, it tells the truth!
I wish it was Friday for me, but today I’d Wednesday lol…time to get over the hump
NEw scales show Im up .4 of a lb:-( But Zumba and new wt training regime should take care of that:-)
I look in the mirror every morning to see what my body looks like. I can see what I need to work on and the changes that have been made. Im so happy for these daily articles and postings. This really keeps me focused on my goals and accomplishments big or small. Thanks Michelle!! And thanks to everyone for sharing.
I agree…thanks everyone for sharing!!
Oh yeah – on track with holiday stuff! Trying to get a lot done before it comes but a little at a time.
Thanks for the reminder to remember my accomplishements.
That´s so sensible!! I´m horrible at setting goals, even small ones… I´ll try to celebrate them more. First I have to achieve them!
church, wo and some cleaning. Today.
I use to do that … Once a week post all the things I was thankful for or things I accomplished on Facebook.
It’s such an encouraging thing to do!
I’m the same way focusing on everything I didn’t get done today rather then looking at everything I did! Great advice!!
I HAVE to have lists to make sure I do what needs to be done, but I hate putting my hubby and doggies on the list as I don’t want to feel as if they are on my To Do list. If they aren’t though, its hard for me to make sure I take the time to spend with them. So, I try and make sure I stop doing my list by a certain time and then devote the rest of the day/evening to them and don’t forget about ME!
Great ideas today!
i LOVE making lists of things to do- problem is I forget there is only so much time in one day and I try to accomplish everything putting myself and my own challenges aside for others. By biggest challenge this year is learning to prioritize other peoples wants and needs below my own. I obviously need to work on myself.
I am most inspired by a completed to do list…. It gives me great confidence to say I did them all but realize that daily it may be impossible. So, I make one for the entire week.. So, I am ok with rollovers.. i catagorize the have to’s and the want to’s. Each day I try to do a few from each list… My workouts are on both lists
to keep me on track and focused on that major accomplishment. I also realize that day to day there are add ons that may come up…I dont beat myself up if they dont all get completed… I have learned that its too easy to get frozen with a feeling of being overwhelmed. So, you are right.. completed task are to be celebrated and unfinished ones should not take the wind out of your sail.
I am TERRIBLE about letting myself get overwhelmed by my TO-DOs….
I took a break from “to do lists” for about a year- I was way to overwhelmed by them. Now I’ve been using them again for the past 3 months and I’m keeping them SHORT 3-5 items for the day- it seems to help.
this is great. sometimes the actual to do list might not get done, but plenty of ‘stuff’ does get done and I should celebrate it as I chip away at the written list
At the end of the day- I end up with 2 list- my crossed off “to do” and my things I did list- the things I did is almost always longer– it feels great!!
Am I not getting the 40 day to fit emails any longer because I did not reponde for 3 days while I was on vacation and not near a computer??? I’m kinda bummed I’m still sticking to the plan! Can anyone explain?
you should still get them?? go ahead and resign up- something on my email system must have gotten messed up.
Great advice. I need help focusing on what I do and not on what I don’t do. I can get lost in all the stuff needing to be done and miss the progress I am making. thanks
I have an extra room with a big mirror and I been thinking about getting it ready as my exercise room
Wise words
I do the exact same thing. Again you’ve inspired me Michelle. Thank you! I am going to try not to focus so much on what needs to be done and more on what has been accomplished, and feel joy for that.
Today, is an in between day. Doing a Bikram Yoga class and then going for a swim/sauna
