767: I've got a confidence boosting challenge for you!
So often we only look at the start or end of the year to reflect on how much we've got done, so for today's episode I've got a bit of a quest for you!
Episode transcript:
Good morning daily peppers and a very happy Wednesday to you Now, I dunno about you, but it feels like we were ringing in the new year last week and time has flown. But the thing is, I know you have done so much already this year, we tend to take the end of the year and the start of a new year as a chance to really reflect on what we did do.
And I think it is fair to say that for some of us, we tend to use it as a way to beat ourselves up about what we didn't do. But the thing is, we have so many opportunities throughout the year to do that reflection in a way that feels way less. So for today's Daily pep, I really want you to think about all the things that you have done this year. Remember that the tiny things absolutely count, and often the things that really matter are intangible and they're probably not gonna show up on a to-do list, and that's why this work is so important. So if you're able to right now, or need to open the Notes app on your phone, grab a journal. Just see if you can get to 10 things that you have done this year.
Now for a second, we are putting aside all the things that you said you were gonna do and what you want to do, and we're focusing on what you have done. Because the problem with only using your plans for the year as a reference point is that often you end up completely ignoring the things that were unexpected and you only tell yourself half the. So see if you can come up with 10, and I've gone with the number 10 because it will feel hard, but often when it feels a bit more challenging, that's when we tend to dive deep. And you might just surprise yourself what all the things you have done, big or small, and you might find yourself feeling unexpectedly proud of all the things you have done this year.
So that is a bit of homework for you this hump day. I hope it gives you a massive confidence based and if you are struggling to come up with 10 things, see it as an exercise for the week. See what you can find. See what unexpected shit you've dealt with. Look back through your diary or your calendar, and you might just realize that you have done way more than you think you have, and you are so much further ahead than you previously thought you were. I would love to know how you get on. My details are in the show notes. Have a good one, and remember that you've got this because you really do.
