Celebrating progress

Last week I had a coaching session with my life coach (and yes, I do have a coach myself!). What I love about coaching sessions is that every single time, I feel like I’m peeling off the layers – fast! I get to know myself even more and gain so much clarity about who I am and who I want to become, and then take actions from there. It’s so powerful..

On this session, we explored my financial mindset and how I am progressing since last year. Today, I wanted to share with you what I learned about what progress is, that you might find relatable. It’s simple, but we might overlook it from time to time.

When we discussed about my growth, from my view, I didn’t see myself progressing as I saw myself rather slow, at least compare to myself standard… Honestly I didn’t even see myself making a progress. I was actually a bit sad, in my mind “Oh I should’ve done better.. could’ve done better” and all this mental chatter.

However, my coach reminded me that I made a real progress and even congratulated me! I certainly didn’t expect that. I was like, what…

I completely forgot that no matter what, I made progress, and that’s what really matters. Progress might look different for each one of us, and that’s okay.

Every progress is still progress, even the smallest one. When it feels like a small progress, most of the time we judge ourselves too much, without even acknowledging what we have achieved. We just forgot how we show up in our best abilities knowing that things are not always as good as we want them to be.

I believe that one of the keys to happiness is really about accepting ourselves in the present equally with honoring ourselves in the future. Let’s not forget to celebrate our progress no matter how small it is! Stop overcriticizing and appreciate more often. Give yourself a pat on the back regularly..

We are human, and let’s enjoy the journey however it looks like.

You may share with me if you feel called.

My wish for you is that you celebrate every milestone, no matter how small it feels. I celebrate you!

Have a blessed week! ✨

With love,
Tri
