We were talking on an earlier post about schemas and the effect they can have on making you feel guilty because you forget about all the brilliant, spectacular things you have achieved. Well, a to do list that you have vanquished can be just the thing to set you up to achieve more, it helps you feel satisfied and productive in your day. that vanquished to do list is tangible proof that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want to – given enough time and ability to focus. So celebrate it!
Nelson Mandela is quoted as saying “remember to celebrate the milestones as you prepare for the road ahead” which is an important point to remember when you realise that those mini successes, those little achievements that you ticked off that to-do list of yours? They are the milestones on your journey. That may sound cliche and twee and, lets be honest, downright pathetic. But you know what? No-one but you knows how easy or hard those little ticks were to achieve and even if they were easy, celebrate them. You did it. You accomplished it. and you will accomplish many more in this journey called life.
Lets start a discussion. What’s the one bit you struggle with most when keeping on top of things?
