128: Look at how far you've come

...not how far you have yet to go! Today's daily pep is all about celebrating your wins along the way and having the enthusiasm to keep going!

Episode transcript:

Good morning, Daily Peppers, and a very happy Friday to you. We're at the end of the week, we made it, and you're listening to the Daily Pet which is the only daily podcast for creative and multi passionate women Who just wanna get out of their own way already. So this week, I've been thinking a lot about how we celebrate our goals or rather how we don't celebrate our goals. You know what it's like. You've been working on something for ages. And before you've even realized it, you've surpassed what you originally set yourself. But rather than feeling good about it, you're already on to the next thing. You're already looking at the next milestone, and you've completely, Not even ignored, but not even noticed how far you've come.

So to wrap up this week, I really want you to just pause for a moment and look at all the incredible things you've done. And if you don't feel able to or if you don't fancy celebrating them or if that feels a bit too much or you don't have time? I just invite you just even to notice them. I think so much can happen when we start to notice our wins. It's so easy just to get bogged down in all of the details and just keep going and going and going. And we end up exhausted, and we end up losing our enthusiasm, and we wonder why. But if you're never pausing Or if you're never stopping to look at how far you've come, well, of course, it's gonna be hard to continue. It's gonna be hard to find the energy. And, also, you're not gonna get that massive confidence boost that you get when you look at how far you've come as opposed to always looking ahead and looking at how far you've got to go.

So that is my daily pep for today. Just pause for a minute and look at how much you've done. Okay. You might not be exactly Where you wanted to be this time of the year, for example. You might want to have been further along by now, but the Chances are when you set out on the path you're on, you didn't know how many bumps there were gonna be. You didn't know how much extra work there was gonna be because you've never done it before, And you're doing a fucking good job. So take a moment today, look how far you've come, and I hope you have a fabulous weekend. See you back here bright and early on Monday morning. Take care.
