his topic is really important, and I don’t talk about it nearly ENOUGH.

When was the last time you took INVENTORY of:

⁉ Things you’re doing WELL?
⁉ Things about yourself you’re PROUD of?
⁉ Actions you’ve taken that you’re PROUD of?
⁉ Accomplishments you’ve had?

When I ask most people if they have any kind of PROCESS around this, they don’t have ANY kind of answer.

I think the reason why is that society, and corporate America, has trained us to focus on:

🧠 Things that aren’t working well
🧠 Opportunities or weaknesses
🧠 Projects or things that are incomplete
🧠 Unfinished business and unclosed deals
🧠 What we still have left to do

Doing this robs us of a TREMENDOUS amount of JOY. When we only celebrate at the finish line, we miss SO MUCH of what’s going well along the well.

If you don’t SLOW DOWN to ask yourself: “What am I doing well? What am I proud of myself for?”, you will BURN OUT.

Slowing down to celebrate yourself and the EFFORT you’ve been putting in is IMPORTANT. There’s a way to do this and still have humility. Doing this does NOT mean you’re arrogant or confident. You can acknowlege how much progress you have LEFT while still acknowledging how far you’ve COME.

If you do this, you’ll wake up with greater:

🌞 happiness
🌞 motivation
🌞 engagement
🌞 empowerment

So, TODAY, slow down, take a moment out of your day, and reflect on how you’re giving life your all and how impactful your efforts are.
