I have a note on my mobile which is called “Steps in the right direction”.
At the end of every day, I write down at least one beneficial thing I had done.
It could have been anything. From small things, like booking a call, to bigger activities, like publishing an article on my Substack (including one on this topic).
Pretty helpful to keep sense of progress and motivation.
Love this! With regard to the second tip about celebrations, there’s something special about it being a nontangible experience. Something you enjoy, and then is gone--just like the experience of working. So you then have to get back to work again afterwards to get the next celebratory experience :)
After an unintentional break, I recently restarted a similar evening journaling practice where I write down 3 wins (big or small) of the day, 3 things that I'm grateful for the day and what did I love about myself today (not just for doing but also for "being") and after a few days I was suprised and amazed of just how better I felt in general. I didn't know it would be a way of celebration and rewarding that I had been missing! Pretty interesting stuff!
I like #2. And used to struggle with that a lot.
I have found journaling pretty helpful for that.
