Take smaller bites!
I am very guilty of trying to bite off more than I can chew!
Sometimes I set unattainable goals during my day so that I am never satisfied, no matter how much I actually achieve. I try to take such a big bite instead of going through tasks normally, one bite at a time. I struggle with an all-or-nothing mentality, causing me to feel defeated after I've done a ton, but couldn't do it all. The truth is that I can't do it all, and if I keep perceiving my days as huge bites that I cannot chew, then I will never be content chewing smaller, normal-sized bites.
I believe in myself and have confidence that I can get things done, but I can't beat myself up when I can't do everything. I can do anything the best that I can, but I can't do everything.
I need to take smaller bites. I need to understand that not completing every big task does not nullify my completion of small tasks. Every small task counts!
How old are you?!
I'm 23! Haha, why? :)
I was only curious :D
Loved this...it is a good reminder for all of us in this crazy - out-of-control-fast-paced-over-stimulated society that we have produced...I think we're all guilty of the same thing...
Yes, we are way out of control and over-stimulated! We just need to remember that what we can achieve is enough!
Remember that you can do it all. Just not all at once!
Exactly!
Believe me with four kids the oldest being 14 the youngest 6, Small bites helps everyone in the circle @uglysweater
Haha, I can totally see that!
That is totally true!
Including an idea and creative in the post
Cool to see we are not alone, it is best to set smaller goals, for that gratification at the end of the day instead of the disappointment we face not reaching the ridiculous super human goals we set lol ...enjoy your honesty as always :)
That's right, smaller goals! Thank you! :)
Every bit makes a lot
Exactly. :)
This post is just fantastic.
Thanks!
This is so true! I also am guilty of biting off more than I can chew and it is stressful, and disappointing when it doesnt end up working out the way you planned.
Thanks for posting!
It is definitely disappointing. I would rather focus on what I can get done instead of what I can't! :)
