Today's quote from the book: “The key is learning to separate your feelings from the facts.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 11, p. 224 Feelings are real. They’re just not always reliable. Facts are boring. They’re also solid. When you lead with feelings, you wobble. When you act on facts, you move. Notice the story. Name the truth. Make the smallest move the facts support. That’s how momentum survives bad moods. Write one feeling and one fact about the same situation. Act on the fact for 5 minutes and log it.
I'm going to go with my latest realization - my self confidence. I feel totally unable to overcome this but the fact is that several people have successfully managed this hurdle and if they can do it, so can I!
Today's quote from the book: “The dip is not your enemy. It’s your invitation to deepen your trust, sharpen your focus, and solidify your commitment.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 11, p. 231 Low spots happen. They’re part of the climb. Don’t make it a verdict. Make it a signal. Slow is fine. Stuck isn’t. Breathe. Tighten the first move. Keep the streak alive. That’s how momentum survives the valley. Name one place you’re in a dip. Shrink the next step to 5 minutes and do it today.
For me, the dip is lack of self confidence in my business dealings. I've decided to work on improving that. My first step is to compliment 3 people today, knowing that while I am searching for things to compliment others on, I am searching within myself for that compliment too.
Yesterday, as I was lying in bed, trying to sleep, I realized that I hadn't posted on LinkedIn. The old me would've ignored this, but the new, consistent me, got up and posted!
Today's quote from the book: “Momentum isn’t built in a day, it’s built daily.” Doing What You Know, Chapter 11, p. 225 Big pushes look flashy. Streaks win. Keep the rep tiny. Keep it repeatable. Let consistency carry the weight. Skip the heroics. Protect the next clean move. Proof beats plans every time. Show up small. Show up again. Watch results stack while effort gets lighter. Pick one 5-minute rep you’ll run today and tomorrow. Do today’s now and log it.
I posted once again on LinkedIn AND FB! I decided that it wouldn't take much longer to post in both arenas. I am consistent today. I am disciplined today.
