We should take a moment more often and celebrate ourselves for all that we have already achieved. Whether they are small steps or big leaps! Celebrate yourself when you take the stairs instead of the elevator, when you choose a healthy and balanced meal over fast food. Be proud of yourself when you resist the many sweet temptations, but also when you allow yourself what you need. Feel free to shower yourself with praise for all that you accomplish and achieve daily, but don’t forget to praise yourself when you take the breaks and downtime you need. Write down all your small and big goals and regularly check which ones you have achieved and which ones you are currently working on. Also, jot down your praise and what you are proud of. Read these entries regularly, and you will notice how your motivation grows to take all the steps necessary on the path to a healthy you.
