13 How to have a great day everyday - Progress Principle Success!!!

Want to know what the secret is to having a great day? Stick with me, I'm happy to share. Hey everybody, this is Jessi Q, your everyday coach for intentional living. So there's this study that's been done at Harvard called the Progress Principle. This sums up the key to having a great day. It's very simple and instinctively you're gonna know that this is correct when I share this with you. The Progress Principle is all about taking steps, positive steps in the direction of something that's important to you. When you take positive steps in your day towards something that's important to you, this gives you a great day. It's as simple as that. The Progress Principle shares with us that when we take steps in the direction of something that's important to us, we find the tasks meaningful, we show that we are competent, we overcome self-doubt, we are feeling accomplished, empowered, all of these really, really positive emotions that set us up for having a great day. So if you think back on your life and on the days that you've had and the situations you've had at work, at school, in relationships, and you think about the days that have been great, it's because you've reinforced going in a direction of something that's important to you. And if you've had a bad day, typically you've found yourself stuck in meaningless work, maybe you've been surrounded by toxic people and situations like that where you just felt like you haven't made that progress at all. And that ends up being a bad day, you're feeling like there's been setbacks and things like that. So what do you do when you find yourself in a situation where you've had a setback and you've slid backwards? You just have to refocus yourself on the times that you've found those accomplishments in your life and start taking the positive directions again in the direction of the things that are important to you. So identify what it is that you wanna start moving in the direction of and start taking those steps in that direction. And make sure that every single day you're taking positive steps in that direction. Don't get dissuaded, don't hesitate, just take those steps. Don't worry about fear or setbacks or any of that stuff. Because when you take steps and you overcome any challenge, any fear, any hesitation, how do you feel? You feel so good about yourself. You feel like you have overcome any self-doubt, you feel powerful, you feel strong, and you are taking care of yourself and taking care of going towards your dreams and your goals. And this leaves you with a fabulous day. So every single day, if you take steps in the direction of your goals, you're going to reinforce that feeling of empowered and you're gonna feel, you're gonna reinforce the feeling of and the knowledge that you're competent and you're gonna keep going in the direction of your goals and your dreams. You're putting energy on it and you're putting positive energy on it and also you need to remember to visualize you accomplishing those steps and those goals because that helps put more positive energy on it. If you face a setback, don't worry about it. Think about the times that you've been successful and know that you have it within you to keep moving forward. Don't stop, just keep moving forward because the progress principle, this Harvard study, has reinforced and shown us through this study that taking steps every day in the direction of something that's really important to us helps us. Have a great day. So on that note, have a great day. Go out there, take steps today in the direction of something that's important to you. For me, I got up this morning and I set my intentions.
