How to Stop Failing at Winning
My podcast producer should’ve said, “JEN! You’re too late.”
But that’s not who Phyllis is. Instead, she said, “No problem. We’ll make it happen.”
And in my frenzy to record & upload my weekly podcast, I failed to notice…I was at EPISODE 100!
Big Deal, right? Getting to 100 episodes is kind of an arbitrary WHOO HOO number, right?
Well, according to Phyllis, MOST PODCASTS don’t make it to one year…so apparently, it IS a BFD.
But I still didn’t make a big deal out of it…
This one of my weaknesses: I’m not a good NOTICER. Or CELEBRATER.
๐๐ผ Did I fill my Mastermind program this summer? YES I DID!
๐ Did I celebrate? NOPE. I started creating content so they’d have an amazing experience.
๐ฐ Did I cross an income goal I’ve had my eyes on for a while? YES I DID!
๐คช Did I celebrate? NOPE. Noted. Back to work.
Do you ever do that? Totally blow past some milestone…or achievement…
Because you’re so focused on WHAT’S NEXT?
My friend Kelly told me she used to do triathlons religiously, and every time she finished one…
she looked at her time, assessed what she did “wrong” & how she could do better…
Then got to tweaking & planning how to achieve the next thing to cross off her list
She realized at one point there was very little JOY in the actual moment. And stopped doing triathlons.
If we don’t stop & notice - celebrate - give ourselves a high five - a pat on the back…
We just keep churning - and we’ll find ourselves on the way to burnout.
So, smack dab in the middle of 2020 when the finish line keeps moving on us…Let’s stop here. ๐ Let’s pause & celebrate, together! ๐
What’s SOMETHING you can give yourself a ๐๐ผ HIGH FIVE about?
Something you crossed off the list? Stopped doing? Started doing?
What’s a WIN for you right now?
How can you acknowledge your WINS?
๐ฃ Share it with someone?
โฃ๏ธTake yourself out for a date?
๐ป Create a little beauty somewhere in your life to celebrate?
I STINK at this part! My friend Jamie calls me out that I won’t toot my own horn - I’m much more likely to ask, “How are you doing?” than say, “Hey, here’s what’s going on with me!”
So, friends - here’s what’s going on with me - ๐บ I reached a milestone in my podcast!
Two years this month! WHOO HOO!!
Check out Episode 104 - “The polite thing to do is hurting your business.”
AND also, even if you feel like garbage right now…celebrating doesn’t erase our struggles!
We are allowed to feel low or overwhelmed or anxious AND celebrate the good moments TOO.
What can YOU celebrate - even if it feels hard?
Even if life feels completely overwhelming because you’re just on high alert and DONE with the nonstop “what ifs” that 2020 has brought us?
My wish for YOU, my friend, is that you take at least one moment once every day to give yourself a high five and notice your WINS.
Xo, Jen
