Small wins

What are you proud of yourself for today?

When is the last time you felt and expressed how proud of yourself you are?

To celebrate how far you’ve come, no matter how small and maybe even silly.

I’ll go first…

First, yesterday I navigated my way through a downtown area I don’t know to my event space, then found my way back to my car in a high rise building’s parking garage, and got out of that garage and back to my hotel with no curse words. And for this no stoplight small town Iowa girl that always feels like a job well done.

Second, I have stuck with my new physical therapy routine (in addition to every thing else I have to do to show up every day, which is a lot) even when traveling for work. Which also means for the first time since November and my emergency dental surgery I haven’t had nonstop searing shoulder pain and for the first time in many years I’m lifting weight above my head.

Perhaps if we celebrated more of our small wins along the way it wouldn’t feel so dang painful.

What are you proud of yourself for today?
