A SMALL Win Leads To A BIG Win
Neuro experts are one in saying that our brains are WIRED to respond to rewards. Celebrating the completion of SMALL accomplishments leads to the completion of BIGGER goals. And their studies show that people who tracked their SMALL achievements every day enhanced their MOTIVATION. That simple practice of recording your day-to-day progress helps you to appreciate your SMALL wins which in turn boosts your sense of confidence. Talking about how A SMALL Win Leads To A BIG Win. Experts say that any accomplishment, even the SMALL ones, releases the neurotransmitter dopamine which boosts your mood, motivation and attention๐ต๐ด๐ท
Now, I could be eating my words because not so long time back, I did highlight that sometimes we have that propensity to celebrate EVEN if it's a premature one and EVEN if it's a SMALL win. BUT the positive psychology research tells us that celebrating the SMALL wins has more impact than waiting for a BIGGER impact win๐๐๐WHY? Because that keeps us engaged and it helps us remember that you're on that path that's proven to be working and that will make you feel good when you get to celebrate even the SMALL wins. BUT let's admit it, as we work on our GOALS and DREAMS, we mostly FOCUS on making BIG strides. Getting that BIG CHECK instead of a SMALL CHECK. Almost every time we only consider BIG things as an achievement and the SMALL things aren't that an achievement. WHAT can explain that? Apparently, it's easier to see the progress or see the impact if it's BIG and we tend NOT to notice SMALL waves as often we notice BIG waves on the beach๐๐๐Now, here's the HARD SELL. It is important to appreciate the SMALL things and SMALL waves as well because that would allow us to even see life from a different perspective. We would NOT be overwhelmed. We would be able to 'BREAK' down BIG tasks and celebrate the SMALL wins. Taking the time to appreciate the SMALL things is really rare. NOT everyone focuses pm the SMALL details or SMALL things. It is also one of the reasons WHY we give up easily on the process. We forget that we are learning OR progressing throughout the process. SMALL things are also achievements✅✅✅Being able to do WHAT we want today is an achievement and NOT everyone has that courage to pursue it. Being able to spend some time with your loved ones on a busy day is an achievement in itself and being able to deliver the deliverables today despite your frenetic overlapping client commitments is a feat that CAN'T just be ignored. Whatever it is. No matter how SMALL. Such SMALL wins are achievements. And our takeaway today? It's your call if you want to compartmentalize your SMALL wins or 'club' them together, and I guarantee you, you will see a much BIGGER picture compared to that time when those SMALL wins were compartmentalized. Hey dude, need any further elbowing that SMALL WINS LEAD TO BIG WINS❗❗❗
