Small Accomplishments

Most days I really like seeing the big picture: I like to strategize, make plans and figure out how to get where I want to go in different areas of my life.

Other times, however, I get by through seeing small accomplishments. Today is one of those days! If I get a few minutes to sketch at the end of a long day teaching, I'll be happy.

Counting the small accomplishments (and blessings) helps me see how they add up, too! That helps shift my perspective and I start feeling more positive about what's in front of me (such as a stack of papers to grade and the dog to walk and dinner to cook and . . .).

The next ARTitude will have an article I wrote about focusing on small accomplishments, what works for you and how to build on the positive. This is a strategy from the perspective of Appreciative Inquiry.

is this your own rock wall? it is so lovely! What a beautiful contemplative place it would be to have access to (even if it isn't yours) - and that picture is 2nd best thing to having it. Really really nice...very spiritual!
