Yesterday I asked the question, “How is your
life different today than it was the same day last week.” Personally, I couldn’t answer in the positive
because I hadn’t made any significant changes for the better from week to week. I came up with a personal challenge today while
at lunch that will help me to meet my goals for the next year. I figured if I get so many “wins” per week I
would be that much closer to my goals.
First, we need to write our 5 year vision. What do you want your life to look at
spiritually, with your family, professionally, personal development, physical
health, financial and socially/community?
Below are the areas in my life that I am going
to try to “win” at daily, which in turn will help me “win” monthly and
yearly. I made some suggestions for
myself on what a “win” in each category would be, but I can always add more “wins”
as they happen. Feel free to add some
suggested “wins” if you can think of some. :)
Let me know if you decide to do this! I would love a Life “Wins” Running Buddy to
help me stay accountable!! We need to
give ourselves more credit for what we DO do, instead of ONLY beating ourselves
up over what we don’t do. Or letting
ourselves slack over things we shouldn’t slack at.
Rules:
Multiple wins can be done per category per
day.
Each month I want to track how many “wins” I get
and then try to increase it. Maybe give
myself a reward each quarter? Like maybe
XX-XX wins equal X prize for me.
Write down your “wins” each day so you can go
back and remember them on “bad days” when you need a little encouragement.
