Inner Truth: Celebrate Milestones

Celebrating your progress along the way to your goal is essential to staying motivated. If you set a goal that takes nine months to achieve, it’s hard to stay motivated the entire time because there’s no payoff. So build in milestones to celebrate along the way.

If your goal is to lose weight, celebrate every two pounds you lose. If you’re writing a book, celebrate every 20 pages that you write. If your goal is to book 35 speaking gigs, celebrate every 5 engagements that you book.

Celebrating milestones keeps you inner child excited, because it feels rewarded for all of the efforts it’s made.
