I promise you that this tiny shift will not only make you happier in the process of achieving your goals but also more successful in obtaining them.”– Dr. Adrienne Youdim Today’s Health Bite:Manage this very human but also a very destructive tendency to move the goalpost with these action steps:Step 1: Acceptance. See your goals as a process/journey. Focus not on the destination but on the moments. Understand that you’re a work in progress and that you never really fully arrive. Allow this truth to motivate you to keep moving forwardStep 2: Know that you’re not alone. We’re all in this together. Allow yourself to feel embraced by the collective experience. Take comfort in that truth.Step 3: Celebrate your wins, no matter how small. When we celebrate our wins, we allow room for joy in the process, and when we allow joy, we pave a path to continuously move it forward. We are less likely to sabotage ourselves when we are engaged in these practices with joy.How We Can Support Adrienne—and Each Other Our community’s love and presence are powerful.
