💛 Count Your Little Wins 💛

We often get so obsessed with the ‘big stuff’, the life markers and giant moments that we forget about the day-to-day stuff.

And to me, that seems a little silly on our part. Life is mostly made up of the mundane, the routine and ritual - surely we should give it the attention it deserves. Or at least, a little more than we do.

So, here’s me trying to practise gratitude for my incredibly cozy and safe everyday.

I am genuinely surprised I had as many things as this. And you might feel that way too. You might not think there’s a point trying to write things down because you haven’t done anything, but honestly, you’d be surprised.

The whole point is that this list is full of little wins. Did you practice good hygiene, load the dishwasher and keep general order in your space? Write it down. It’s a little win. Did you make a stranger smile, make your friend a coffee, sit down and talk about each other’s problems? Write it down.

Our everyday moments are our everything. It matters.

I don’t know about you guys, but I find it very easy to pick fault with myself - and honestly, it’s exhausting and pretty pointless (unless done with constructive and helpful intention).

So, here’s me, trying to be good to myself - sitting back with a cuppa, thinking back and appreciating those tiny positives that make up life.

Maybe give it a go!

Here’s My List for the Month:

• Consistently exercised everyday for the past two weeks.
• Started and stuck to my Japanese lessons for the last month.
• Made my family dinner the last two Saturdays.
• Made my new friend a birthday present.
• Got mama a Mother’s Day gift she appreciated.
• Got my sister a Mother’s Day gift she wasn’t expecting.
• Consistently stuck to dog training. Every. Single. Day.
• Prioritised self-care instead of unhealthy habits.
• Kept work to a bare minimum on the weekends.
• Started a script writing side gig.
• Actually remembered to consistently floss.
• Baked at the weekend.
• Got Mina a chew toy she’s yet to destroy.

I’d love to see yours in the comments, but no pressure.

All the best
