The Power of Micro-Goals

WHAT ARE MICRO-GOALS?


Big goals can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and that’s when procrastination kicks in. We start delaying what we need to do and then stop completely.

Instead of getting stuck, break the big goals into small, manageable steps, and milestones -
MICRO-GOALS!


Reaching these small milestones will keep you motivated and make the big goal feel achievable.

HOW TO USE MICRO-GOALS?

For example, you want to read 300 books a year. Sounds a bit overwhelming, but start small:

  • Instead of stressing over 300 books, start with 1 chapter a day.

  • Most books have around 10-15 chapters. That means you’ll finish 2-3 books a month without pressure.

  • The more you read, the faster you become, and before you know it, you’re on track to reach your big goal!

👉If you want to write a book, start by writing 200 words a day —keep going and stay consistent.

👉If you want to lose weight, start by walking for 5 minutes around the block, then gradually increase the time.

Make your micro-goals fun! 🎉
🏆 Play your favorite music, wear your favorite runners, and if you're reading or writing, light a scented candle and enjoy your favorite drink. ☕✨


"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." – Aristotle


🏆Progress beats perfection. Keep it simple, stay consistent, and enjoy the journey!

Remember to keep shining & keep smiling!

Have a super powerful day!
