Celebrating Progress

There was a point in time where I felt like all the goals, I have set for myself were nowhere in sight.  There were days where I couldn't even be bothered to care about leveling up and pushing forward, all I wanted to do was stay in my comfort zone. But those days where my motivation was at an all-time high hell even half motivation, I made sure to do all the things I was too down to accomplish on my off days. Those days is what helped me accomplish the goals I had set for myself. One of my main goals are within arm's reach, fingers crossed I will have an update over the next couple of months. To see what I have been able to do has given me such a boost of confidence, the growth I am experience has me glowing with such joy. The adventures that await me is so exciting and just gives me more to look forward to. May seem late but never wrong was getting my passport at 39 years old, that was another goal that was accomplished that is bringing me that much closer to my dream trip Italy.  Now what I should do is have a special savings to fund that trip, I will absolutely get started on that right away. Even though I may not have any readers yet, I thoroughly enjoy writing down bits and pieces about my life in hopes of giving anyone that needs it motivation to just keep going forward. 

In our fast-paced and demanding world, it's easy to lose sight of our goals and become overwhelmed by the challenges that come our way. Whether you're a business owner or simply trying to find motivation in various aspects of your life, it's crucial to develop strategies to keep that fire burning within you. Let's explore some effective techniques to maintain motivation both in your business ventures and other spheres of your life.

When things get overwhelming, and you don't take the proper break your body will force you to rest. I have not taken care of myself properly and for that I have now gotten sick, I am now just trying to rest and get over this sickness. Studies have shown that stress lowers your immune system, and seeing how that's kind of what is happening now I say its true. Even though I feel crappy I am still trying to do things instead of just resting and I don't know why its a hard concept to just do nothing. Maybe I feel like if I don't get some things done then that will be double the work when I'm feeling better. Either way I have to start eating better and being more active, so I don't feel so BLAH all the time.  Lowering my stress levels might be the harder task at hand, nonetheless one that will be conquered. If anyone that has any advice (when people actually start reading my blog lol) I would greatly appreciate it. 

I must admit I have the hardest time keeping the negativity at bay, I am trying to train myself to stay positive. I catch myself complaining constantly at work, I am not very nice when it comes to loving myself, and I still struggle with procrastination. I have noticed that giving myself little goals to give myself a feeling of accomplishment. In taking a look at myself internally I expect fast results for little effort and when I don't get what I'm looking for I get upset and give up. Yesterday I decided to take a short walk to get some type of exercise in my life because let's face it I don't move around much. That small goal I set and accomplished really made me feel good that day. I have done the same thin g today except I walked for a little longer. I felt like I am finally making strides in the right direction and for that I will apply the small goal rule. Try it and let me know how it works out for you. 

My biggest struggle in trying to change my life is keeping motivation. I get comfortable in my old habits due to the comfort it used to give me. Food has always been my biggest crutch; food has helped me through many traumas and because of that it has somewhat caused some health problems. Trying to undo years of bad habits and unhealthy eating has proved to be extremely challenging. I find myself slipping in and out of my old ways always giving myself excuses or promises of starting tomorrow. Even this blog I actually started it yesterday, just goes to show it really isn't an overnight change. I have decided to take little steps, so I don't get discouraged. One day at a time. Anyone have any advice for a girl that constantly struggles to motivate?
