Years ago, when I was going through a period of self-doubt because of a couple of personal and business disappointments, a wiser man than me said that I should cut back on my big ideas and look for smaller things to accomplish, and those would give me some successes. IOW, little victories.
Little victories allow for a rebuilding of self esteem, shows you that you can accomplish things, and form the building blocks, the foundation, for greater challenges and achievements.
Years later, after Sweetie died, I was talking with my doctor and telling her that I've not been accomplishing much, procrastinating, and in general feeling poorly. She suggested taking on one or two small tasks a day, things that I'd usually do anyway and that I'd been avoiding, and not concern myself with bigger things. So, for example, instead of getting the car washed "tomorrow," I'd do it today, right now. Again, little victories.
You set yourself up to succeed. You find that there's something positive to look forward to ... it's easier to look forward to something if you know you'll be successful.
Doing this will help to assure here's "no cabbage left behind."
