One Little Word 2015: ACT

Reason why

Why I chose my word for One Little Word workshop 2015

At first I chose the word Progress, because I wanted to celebrate progress, to be happy with any tiny improvement that I make.

I suffer from perfectionism, therefore must focus on Progress not Perfection. I am so tired of ‘trying’ and not seeing any successes on the scale.

The word progress is important to me because I need to focus on the journey, the continuum of my life, the daily success of getting through another day.

I need to acknowledge my progress as a step in the right direction and celebrate moving forward toward my goals.

I believe that progress begets progress. If I see a bit of success, then it will create the momentum I need to gain more success.

I want to see and build upon success. 

I mulled using this word as my anchor for this year, and ended up seeing the weakness of this word (for me).

I needed a word that would propel me forward, that would light a fire under my rear end and motivate me to do something about it instead of just wishing for it to happen

This is why I chose the word ACT, or rather, why it chose me.

ACTION will get me the Progress my heart desires.

In 2015 I need to ACT upon my goals, I need to move forward.

Each and everyday, I need to strive for consistency in my behaviours.

I need to act instead of wish or talk or write down

Actions speak louder than words.

I think to myself so much “why can’t I do it?” what am I doing wrong?

The answer is easy: I’m not DOING IT

I need to walk the walk

I want to have the integrity that will end in progress and success.

If I Do the things I say I am going to do then I will reap the rewards.

If I ACT I will see progress

I need to show up every day and just do it.

I know what I have to do, I just need to consistently go through the motions.

Act is the process of doing.

No excuses, I just need to ACT daily.

Be a little bit better than yesterday

This is why the word ACT chose me.
