So hear me out. I know it might sound silly, atleast it did to me when I first started doing it, but I used to beat myself up for not sticking to my goals.

Working out regularly, reading more, you name it. I would make these big plans and then feel worse when I couldn’t keep up.

So instead of goals I started setting minimums.

Like, just put on my workout shoes, just write one sentence, just read a single page. And more often than not, once I started, I kept going.

So instead of thinking of the big perfect outcome, I started off with tiny things, and it’s surprising how I felt way more in control.
