We’re often reminded to stop and appreciate the little things in life. Whether it’s a beautiful sunny day, a co-worker surprising you with coffee, or an unexpected compliment from a loved one, it’s these little things that get us through the day and give us something to smile about. It’s important to keep the little things in mind on our healthy lifestyle journeys, too. We may be working toward a larger goal like losing 50 pounds, dropping two pants’ sizes, or finishing our first 5K, but it’s important to celebrate the little victories along the way – no matter how small they might seem. Maybe you smile when your exercise app sounds a buzzer each time you reach your 10,000 steps. Maybe you get excited when you turn your leftovers into a healthy lunch instead of hitting the drive-thru. Or maybe you pat yourself on the back for making it to the gym, even though there are at least a dozen places you’d rather be.
Whatever little victories keep you going, don’t ignore them. After all, it’s the little things in life that can help us make a big change.
Thanks for the reminder, especially at this holiday time of the year.
You are Sooo Right
