The middle of any process is a good time to pause and reflect on how far you’ve come and how close you are to the finish line. Take time to feel accomplished rather than overwhelmed with what remains to be completed. One day you’ll look back at the middle of something and reflect on that being the best time you’ve had or how brilliant you were for taking on that challenge and seeing it through.

Achievements large and small are deserving of acknowledgement. Today is for creating a timeline of events from as far back as you can remember consisting of new experiences, achievements, promotions, awards and tough lessons learned through major losses. The lessons through losses are probably the most ingrained memories since the ego and confidence took a hit before they were ever realized. You are granted permission to spend some time on self recognition for the events or moments you’re proud of surviving. If it helps, make a rough list of anything that comes to mind and put a year or age next to it to get started. Take a few days as it may take that long for memories to surface. Once you’re content with the list of achievements and experiences, put them in chronological order. Save the list and revisit it in those difficult moments so you can see how far you’ve come and then add this one to the list. Maybe this is the push or hard shove you needed to write that memoir you’ve been mentally writing for years. Cheers to you and all you’ve grown through in your life, keep going.
For a lighthearted read about life lessons, check out “Little Joni’s Life Lesson,” by Joni Myers, available on Amazon. Hint, if you’re from the east coast you can try and guess where Joni grew up from the various “clues” throughout the book. This is a great book to add to your summer reading list that will have you laughing on the beach.
