Think About Your Next Step
Summary
- When I want to quit and I'm feeling overwhelmed, I tell myself that enduring today's challenges is about creating proof for my future self that I can overcome obstacles.
- I recognize the reason new tasks feel impossible is due to a lack of previous experience and evidence that they can be accomplished.
- By pushing through tough times, I'm building confidence for the days ahead; each victory, no matter how small, contributes to a greater belief in my capabilities.
- While goals may still seem unattainable, having the resolve to continue despite today's difficulties makes tomorrow's challenges less daunting.

How To Take Action
I would suggest starting with small goals each day. These goals can be something simple, like finishing a task you might not like doing. When you want to quit or feel overwhelmed, remind yourself that you're creating proof for your future self. Think, "This is tough, but I can do it, and it'll show me I can handle hard things."
A good way of doing this is by making a victory list. Write down every small win you get. It might be something as small as making a difficult phone call or as big as landing a new client. When new tasks feel impossible, look at your list and see all the things you've already done that once felt just as tough.
Remember, every time you push through a hard time, you're building confidence for tomorrow. Don't worry if goals still look far away. The point is to keep going, even when it's tricky. Sure, it still feels impossible, but each time you succeed, it feels a little bit less so.
If I were you, I'd also tell myself that my effort today is making tomorrow's challenges easier. As you complete tasks and face your challenges, you'll gather evidence that you're capable and can achieve more than you think.
So, to achieve your desired outcome, face today's problems bravely, and keep gathering those wins, no matter how small. Each one is a stepping stone towards a more confident you, ready to tackle bigger goals.
