You’ve Come Further Than You Think

A couple of months ago I did a 46km, three day hike with old friends in Tasmania and loved every minute of it. But you know what? I almost missed the significance and enormity of the event.

I've always loved to hike, but due to various injuries, a year earlier I could barely do 30 minutes walking, let alone three days with 4000 steps.

In a moment of quiet solitude after the hike, it dawned on me how far I'd come. I felt a wave of incredible joy, pride, astonishment and relief at how much things have changed in just 12 months. It was an amazing moment and one I very nearly missed.

My message here is how powerful it can be to have quiet space to yourself. To stop and reflect on all that you have achieved. I promise you it will be astonishing, rewarding and motivating.

Compared to one year ago, ask yourself:

⭐What are you doing now that would have been intimidating then?

⭐What have you achieved since this time last year?

⭐What big challenges have you overcome?

⭐What are you most proud of?

⭐What have you learned about yourself?

⭐What has shifted from your effort over time?

⭐What impact have you made on others?

⭐What are you more confident about now?

Too often we just look at the mountain ahead, not how far we've already travelled.

What's your version of this? I'd love to hear your example below.
