Feel Happy After Every Step

Feel Happy After Every Step

When you set the big picture of a goal in your mind, your brain gets overwhelmed by the things that needs to be done to attain the goal.

This can demotivate you and you might backoff.

Do this instead.

Break the GOAL into small steps.

FOCUS on ONE step at a time and CELEBRATE each step.

ENJOY each step as it is your goal, forget rest of the things.

To reach a mile you need to take steps in feet.

To create an ocean you need tiny drops of water.

After completing few steps your brain would now be motivated enough to achieve more as there is proof to your brain that you have come a long way.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
