I know what it’s like to want results right away. To want to quickly see the results of the work I’m putting in.
But, just like saving money for a major purchase takes time, so does reaching your health and wellness goals.
Not only is that OK, but it’s such a good thing! It means more when it takes time and effort than if we could just take a pill, right?
Be patient with your progress. Celebrate it along the way, at big milestones and little achievements, even those that don’t seem like much. When you start to feel frustrated by a certain number or fact (like the dang number on the scale), remind yourself of what it was when you started, or how many days in a row you’ve exercised, or how much better you feel compared to before.
Reaching your goals might take longer than you want. But prizing your progress? You can do that every day.
