Celebrate Progress

HEALTHY LIVING HABIT #23

 

KEY POINTS:

  • Celebrating progress — no matter how small you might think it is — is crucial for motivation and ongoing commitment to your fit and healthy lifestyle.

  • Focus on how far you’ve come rather than how far you still think you have to go. Feel proud of EVERYTHING you have accomplished, big or small, and be inspired to keep climbing and achieving!

 

How to be successful with this habit:

  • Again, “finish strong,” regardless of how far along you think you are.

  • Notice and name any “shoulds” or disappointment you might feel during the next 2 weeks.

  • Remember, there is no “end point” in your own health, fitness, and life journey! You have all the tools and skills to continue being successful. This is a LIFESTYLE that you have created for yourself - congratulations!

  • Keep working hard. Focus on one thing at a time, one habit at at time. Slow and steady wins the race, and you have proven that!
