Be Proud of Yourself for the Progress You Have Made

When you have a goal that you're trying to reach, it can be frustrating to look at the journey you still have to make to get there. The best thing that you can do for the stress that you're feeling is to simply look back and see how far you've already come in your journey. There is probably a lot that you can do today that you couldn't do a year ago, or even a month ago! That alone should be motivation enough to keep you going, to keep you pushing forward.

When you're only looking at the end-goal, it can become frustrating to see everything that you still need to accomplish to get to where you need to be. What matters is that every day, you try to make progress—no matter how small—to get to where you want to be.

No matter what your goal is, it's going to take time, patience and discipline to accomplish the things that you want to achieve. You're not going to get to where you want to be overnight, but you're also not going to make any progress if you're stressing about the things that you still have to achieve. Instead, you should look back at the progress that you have already made, and be proud of yourself for accomplishing so much already!

Stress is a motivation-killer and a happiness-killer, so don't let un-achieved goals hold you back from making progress. There is so much that you have already done, so don't feel as if you're not getting closer to your goals, because you definitely are! You can and you will get to where you want to be. Be proud of yourself for making it this far, and stay determined to see your goal through. You've got this!

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow.
