Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s already 2025. Time feels like it’s flying by faster every year, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s milestones like five- or ten-year markers that make us pause and reflect. We look back at how far we’ve come—and sometimes, at where we’re still stuck.
Maybe you’ve found yourself setting the same New Year’s resolutions over and over, hoping this will finally be the year they stick. If that’s you, trust me, you’re not alone. Most people start the year with big visions but lose steam before January is even over. Did you know the second Friday in January is called National Quitters Day? That’s how soon most people give up on their goals.
The problem isn’t that your goals are too big—it’s that we often skip the small, sustainable steps that build the foundation for success. And that’s exactly what I want to talk about today: how celebrating small wins can completely change your momentum and help you stick with your vision.
The Power of Celebrating Small Wins
Let me tell you something I’ve learned over the years: small wins are everything.
A couple of years ago, I set a goal to lose weight and get healthier. I’d plan these big, ambitious workouts, but when the time came, I’d tell myself, “I’m too tired—I’ll go tomorrow.” And then I’d feel guilty, frustrated, and like I was failing.
On the rare days when I did drag myself to the gym, I didn’t even acknowledge my effort. No high-five, no “good job,” nothing. I just moved on like it didn’t matter. Sound familiar?
The more we focus on where we’re falling short, the more likely we are to quit. But when we celebrate even the tiniest steps forward, we build momentum. Each small win rewires your brain, creating a success mindset that motivates you to keep going.
Think about how we celebrate kids learning to walk. Every stumble, every tiny step gets celebrated like it’s the biggest deal in the world. That encouragement builds their confidence and keeps them trying. So why don’t we treat ourselves the same way?
How Small Wins Create Big Results
Here’s the truth: small, consistent actions add up in powerful ways.
Instead of waiting for huge milestones, start celebrating the small things you’re doing right.
- Did you take a 15-minute walk? Celebrate it.
- Did you send one email to move your business forward? Celebrate it.
- Did you show up for yourself today, even in the smallest way? Celebrate it.
These tiny actions might not feel like much in the moment, but over time, they compound into massive results. When you acknowledge them, you build confidence, momentum, and trust in yourself.
Final Thoughts
Friend, you don’t need to overhaul your entire life all at once. The secret to success is in the small, sustainable steps you take every day—and in celebrating every tiny win along the way.
Set your visions big—bigger than you ever have—because you can create anything you want. Just remember to honor the process and trust that those small steps are building something extraordinary.
Until next week, be well and keep manifesting an epic fucking life.
