How often do you surprise yourself? Like really surprise yourself.

I am riding a sweet wave of motivation at the moment and I am surprising myself so much. I’ve read a lot about goal setting and motivation recently. I've also done my fair share of Skillshare classes on this and productivity- and one of the main tools they share is accountability and how important it is to tell someone, or record your progress in some way. You can even join clubs that have random accountability partners- people you’ve never met - that you check in with or who help motivate you when you need it. Being someone who prefers my own company and is very easily intimidated by well, everything! I have chosen to keep myself accountable.

I've been making silent promises to myself.

Thinking of this, I should probably write them down too! However, my silent promises have been working. Slowly, but surely… I have accidentally found myself in a sweet spot of motivation. I don’t feel like I have put much pressure on myself but my gentle, slow approach seems to have opened this door of possibility. As I have stepped through, I feel a weight has actually lifted and I want to do everything, say yes to everything, and start really moving forward to achieve my goals. Goals I have had for years… I don't know how I found myself here, but I am riding this wave and really enjoying it!
