Enjoying the Journey While Looking Forward

Hi Everyone!

So I have been really trying to motivate myself lately. I am feeling a little tense with the holidays and job change, so sometimes it feels like I just can't wait until I reach my goal. For instance, I just can't wait until the year is over so I can have a short break or I just can't wait until I can quit working for someone else and earn my living through my online business.

I thought that this line of thinking would keep me motivated, but sometimes it made me feel worse. Why? Because I didn't appreciate or enjoy the journey I was on. I have been wishing the holidays to be over instead of just enjoying the excitement of these times. I was looking forward to a new job instead of also enjoying the last time with my wonderful colleagues.

Ready to put this into action?

I've been so focused on the day to day goals I have set for myself, I lost the excitement I felt about setting on this path. I don't want to lose that excitement. I shouldn't be frustrated when I feel like I am going slow. Actual progress is progress and I should learn to appreciate my path.

Have a great day!

Samantha
