Seek Small Victories

Many people are wishing this year will come to a speedy conclusion.  I'm not one of those people.  It's actually one of those years where you can grow if you don't get too overwhelmed by the deluge of challenges that seemingly crop up on a daily basis.  For me, seeking small victories keeps me moving forward.  One small victory inspires me to seek another.  It's amazing how much progress you can make when you string these victories together.

Maybe you're hoping you can shed a few pounds but the scales aren't moving.  Go for one ounce of weight loss and focus on that until you lose the ounce.  One small change in your eating habits can give you a one-ounce victory.  Once the ounce is gone, go for two ounces.  Add a hike to your daily routine.  These ounces will slowly turn into pounds shed.  It's all about perseverance.  I'm a big believer in developing winning habits.  Take that first step.  Lose that first ounce.  And please don't forget to celebrate every small victory.  Have a great day.
