Celebrating Your Accomplishments


checklist Celebrating Your AccomplishmentsYou probably have a few of those goals, the ones that have been in your Inbox forever. You may find it hard to get motivated. Seeing them or getting the reminders makes you feel as if they are too formidable to tackle.

It doesn’t have to be that way. You can summon the strength and will power to overcome the task by visualizing the reward. That is what I did when I finally published my ebook, “101 Things to Do on the Wisconsin Great River Road.” For a long time, I pushed it aside because I was looking at the journey instead of the reward at the end. I let myself think it was too much work.

Then, I found the motivation. It became an obsession. I can’t express the feeling of delight and accomplishment I felt when I received the Congratulations email from Amazon. I did it! I overcame my own insecurities. I won.

Of course, I know that’s only the beginning. The fact remains that I reached a milestone. Now I have the fodder to build momentum. This is extremely powerful. It’s a lesson I want to apply to other areas of my life.

Celebrating your accomplishments gives you the appreciation you deserve for meeting goals. That don’t have to be gigantic steps, just little ones that make your life better and happy. Here’s to you and your milestones!

My Goals for 2011


Like many of you, I have my own goals for the upcoming year. I love the energy of the new year with everyone hopeful for making positive changes in their life. Here are my goals for 2011 which I will blog about occasionally during the year:

  • Reduce blood pressure to normal range to ditch blood pressure meds
  • Run the “Making Tracks for Celiacs” run in May
  • Get to my ideal weight
  • Blog regularly

I like it that my goals support other goals. When I move forward on one, I am progressing on another.

In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
