There are days when you can put massive effort towards your goals.
You have time.
You have energy.
You have inspiration.
You ate your Wheaties for breakfast.
You’re cranking the Rocky theme song on repeat on your Airpods, headphones or boombox.
Those are days that you feel like you are taking one giant leap forward for you-kind.
But…
On other days you don’t have the same resources.
Your schedule is challenging
Your energy is low.
You can’t find your Airpods. And your boombox is out of batteries.
Your motivation has secretly been replaced with slowtivation or notivation.
On those days, lower the bar.
Do something small.
Invest a few minutes instead of hours.
Move forward a few inches instead of miles.
Read a page, not a book.
Spend a few quality minutes not the full day.
Remember, small steps save the day.
And they set you up for bigger, better steps forward tomorrow.
Key Takeaway
Don’t be an all-or-nothing person. All-or-something keeps you moving forward. Do what you can. Support your habits. Maintain your momentum. Tomorrow, you will be glad you did.
