Are you like me?  I get up each day armed with my list of things I intend to accomplish that day.  I have big goals for each day and I am laser beam focused on reaching each one of them.  This is all well and good depending on how you view the results at the end of the day.

Until very recently, I would go back over my list at the end of the day and become disappointed with myself for all the things that I didn’t get done.  This would lead to feelings of inadequacy and self doubt.  The problem is that when you have big goals, many times you don’t reach them in the time allotted.  It was time for a change in focus.

Now, I still have big daily goals, yet I focus on what I do accomplishment.  At the end of the day, I go over my list and celebrate my wins.  This leaves me feeling successful and accomplished.  Anything that remains on the list, simply gets moved to the next day.

You may think that this would cause me to become laxidaisical as I have given myself an out.  The contrary is actually true.  It is very motivating for me to know that I will be celebrating my successes at the end of the day.  The more success the bigger the celebration.

By simply changing my focus, I have changed the way I feel, and therefore changed my results.
