[Short term] One thing you're proud of

[dawning_light]

In the spirit of getting things rolling, let's do a quick exercise! Because the little things we accomplish every day are crucial to our long term goals, we should be sure to acknowledge and celebrate them. It's all well and good to want to learn Chinese, but you can't get there without the day-to-day effort of learning new words and characters!

So, here's the exercise: Comment with at least one thing you did today that you're proud of. It doesn't have to be a big thing. It can be multiple things! It can be absolutely anything.

And if you can't think of something, or you didn't accomplish as much as you wanted, rather than get down on yourself try writing a sentence about what you're going to do to improve matters. If you accidentally slept in when you intended to get up early, instead of telling yourself how lazy you are, write that tomorrow you're going to put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up in order to shut it off. Negative self-talk doesn't get things done!

Go, fight, win!

One thing I did today that I'm proud of is that even after I overslept a little, I got up and went to the gym anyway, even though I could only stay 40 minutes.

I also started wrapping the holiday gifts which I historically procrastinate on.

I will add that tomorrow, I'm going to spend a full hour working out even if it means sacrificing a little bit of other things. Getting into the swing of it will make it become habit faster.

Good for you, going to the gym anyway! \o/

40 minutes is still pretty damn impressive. AND YOU WILL GET THAT HOUR TOMORROW, FOR SURE.
