Tips I've found for Success

Success comes in many forms and perspectives, but I want to share some things that have been helping me along my journey, as it just might help you.

I like to pretty consistently use a brain-dump, keep goals simple, celebrate and give thanks for what I have! 

Let me explain...   I got into journaling all of my emotions and thoughts daily in the 90's with Julia Cameron's book and process called The Artist's Way, way before brain-dumping was a thing. Similar to a brain-dump, it was a great way to start the day or week, releasing mental clutter onto paper.

In a brain-dump, you write out all of what you need to do, in a journal, creating room in your mind to work on more important things. You can create bullet point items in your journal and even add due dates to each. One thing I have learned (as someone whose struggled with focus) is that having just 1-3 items to do per day works best. Keep it simple and check it off the list. Then you can feel a sense of accomplishment and go to bed in peace.

Oh and take a moment to celebrate (this is one I'd like to do more often), with an inner smile, a shimmy, a sticker or a coin in a jar for what's been accomplished. It's a way to embody the feeling and get your endorphins moving, noticing when you've done something good for yourself!

Then, there's gratitude that feeds our feelings of having-ness, of "YES, I'm worthy and my needs and desires are met". Acknowledging when things are going well, activates more of a flow of goodness.  

Which of these do you already do? Which are you are ready to try?
