What is the one task that, if completed, will make today a success? What can you do to make it as easy as possible to get started? (James Clear)
This is a an excellent question to not only get us all thinking , but to hold us accountable to formulating a plan to make it happen. I've talked about creating an environment around you that will set you up for success. Whether its eliminating junk food from your kitchen to allow you to make better choices or setting out your workout clothes to signal its time to work out in the am, creating an environment around you that supports the direction you want to go in, makes an incredible difference.
The definition of success is different for everyone and can change daily. Some days we're tired and emotionally drained and other days we feel ready to tackle the world. A success one day may be to finish the laundry and on another day, accomplish an important task at work.
What I recommend is to wake up each morning (or set a plan the night before)and think of one thing you want to accomplish. What is important to you? What makes you happy? What motivates you? If you can figure that out and create an environment that supports your thoughts, you are more likely to attain success.
I used to make lists of things I wanted to get done each day but unfortunately, I found myself feeling defeated more often than not. I couldn't ever finish what I piled on those lists and always felt overwhelmed! These days I'm more clear on what makes me happy and what motivates me. My values are in order and I make choices that support them. You all know I value health and happiness more than anything and that's why it's easy for me to exercise daily, cook healthy meals and spend time with those that lift me up. I can feel successful at the end of each day when I accomplish tasks that support what I value.
What is it that you value? What can you do today that will support your values and set you up for success? Feel free to share on our private facebook page and be held accountable or encourage others to start thinking about what is important to them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1759957670905555
