Celebrate the Small Stuff

“You might think it is the finish line that is the reward. The promotion, the big house, making the team or making the grade, the accolades are literally the medal at the finish line. But I promise you, the real reward is how you will feel,” explains host Leslie Randolph, self-confidence coach for confident teens and confident women. Your feelings are your greatest motivator. If you only allow yourself to feel doubt, insecurity, or anxiety throughout your journey to a goal, you may give up before reaching the finish line. Instead, celebrate every small step along the way and notice how much more motivated you feel.

When you are working on goal setting, it can be easy to think the reward is only the finish line at the end. But if you only focus on the finish line, you will miss out on all of the opportunities for celebration along the way. The pride, excitement, and accomplishment you feel from celebrating each small step will fuel you to take the next step, and then the next step, until you reach your goal. One easy way to get started is to make a list of all of your accomplishments. You’ll be so proud of yourself when you take the time to actually notice how much you have accomplished in your life.

Why didn’t they tell us to celebrate the small steps? Feeling a sense of accomplishment along the journey to your goal is what will fuel you to take the next step and to ultimately reach the finish line. Make time to regularly celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and you will be amazed by how much more motivated and excited you are overall.
