50 Results I’m Proud Of This Year (So Far).
When creating your ideal professional life – or making any change – retaining your energy is crucial to keep going. One of the best ways to boost your energy is through acknowledging what you’ve already accomplished. I’ve written about this before but worth repeating. When you acknowledge what you’ve already accomplished you will build your confidence. When you build your confidence you will take action and accomplish even more. See the brilliant loop here? 🙂
List 50 results you are proud of having accomplished so far this year (to make this really powerful I suggest you write it down).
First 10, or even 20, results are easy. But then it gets harder. Perfectly natural, hang in there! Don’t forget about the super small – but still so important – things: Have you started to take different ways home to boost your creativity? Have you bought a nice copybook to journal your ideas? Don’t forget about the inside: Have you changed your view on something? Have you discovered a new talent? Or decided on an existing talent that you want to expand? Have you got a new insight on what’s important in your professional life? A new idea you will explore?
Still hard to come up with results? Go out and create some new!
