Stay motivated by focusing on the process from "summary" of Mini Habits by Stephen Guise
When we focus solely on the end result, we often become overwhelmed by the magnitude of the goal and the effort required to achieve it. This overwhelming feeling can lead to a lack of motivation and ultimately result in giving up on our goals. By shifting our focus to the process instead of the end goal, we can break down our objectives into smaller, more manageable tasks. This allows us to make progress consistently, which in turn helps us stay motivated. Focusing on the process shifts our attention from the outcome, which may be far in the future, to the present moment. This present-focused mindset helps us stay grounded and engaged in the tasks at hand. It also allows us to celebrate small victories along the way, providing us with a sense of accomplishment and motivation to keep going. Moreover, by focusing on the process, we can develop a habit of taking action consistently. When we commit to small actions that are easily achievable, we build momentum and create a positive feedback loop. This positive reinforcement motivates us to continue taking action, leading to further progress and success. Additionally, focusing on the process allows us to develop a growth mindset. Instead of seeing setbacks as failures, we view them as opportunities for learning and improvement. This mindset shift helps us stay resilient in the face of challenges and setbacks, enabling us to persevere and ultimately achieve our goals.- Staying motivated by focusing on the process is about embracing the journey rather than fixating on the destination. By breaking down our goals into smaller tasks, staying present-focused, celebrating small victories, developing consistent action-taking habits, and cultivating a growth mindset, we can maintain our motivation and make steady progress towards our goals.
