Are you not seeing any progress in your life so you are feeling down? Maybe you have not reached the place that you want to be in life? Don’t give up. It is hard to keep yourself going when you are feeling stuck.
It is sometimes difficult to see any progress, but you are making some. When you pay attention, you can see even the small signs of progress.
If you are planning to make new Year’s Resolutions this December 31, stop. Most if not all New Year’s Resolutions never last beyond the end of January.
Instead, you need to set attainable goals that you can achieve and become successful in your life.
A Life Coach can help but many people consider it as an expensive item instead of an investment in themselves.
To help, I have created a Group Coaching Program that begins in the first week of January 2023.
You can find out more and register for one of the groups at:

This could also make a great gift to a family member who desires success in their lives.
When you have hit a rough patch, you can look for these signs of progress.
You do feel optimistic about the future. When you are struggling, it is difficult to see outside of your present circumstances. When you look around, you may be able to see that your perspective is changing.
-
Your outlook becomes more positive and you start to become more hopeful about your future. This is a sure sign that you are making progress. Things may still be a little tough though.
-
You can keep your optimism up by finding things to be grateful for in your life. It is hard to see anything positive when you are feeling down. Taking a step back and thinking about the things you are grateful for is helpful to shift your focus which can improve your outlook.
-
Ask yourself if your negative thoughts are true. Challenge them to prove they are wrong.
-
When you are in difficult times, it is easy to lose your focus on your goals. When you focus, it is possible to stay motivated and keep moving towards your goal.
You are improving your life. When you are stuck nothing seems to make things better. Even if you can’t see any path out right now, don’t give up. Even making small steps to improve your life is a sign of progress.
-
There are a few things that you can do to keep yourself moving forward. You need to set goals to give yourself something to work towards. You can stay motivated and keep you focused on making improvements in your life. Make your goals SMART.
-
Create a strong support group that can help you when the path becomes difficult. You can seek help from family, and friends who can give some encouragement and advice. If needed you could ask a therapist or another professional.
-
Just write it all down. Blogging or journalling is a good way to stay focused and track your progress. Write down your achievements and keep track of the challenges you are facing. You can also write down other thoughts as they come to you.
Learning from your past experiences. You can learn from any of your past experiences no matter how challenging they were. Good and bad experiences can teach you something.
-
You are making progress when you can learn something from a complex background.
-
You need to identify the lessons from your difficult experiences. Take time to reflect on the lessons you have learned. Lessons about yourself and others and how can you apply these in the future.
-
Talk to others about your story. You can help process what has happened to you as well as help others who may go through a similar experience. You can blog, use a podcast, video or just talk to people about it.
-
Help others after you have learned from the experience that may help others. You can volunteer or mentor people. You could speak at events to help others as well.
Progress is possible no matter what you are facing in your life. You are on the right track if you can observe these signs. Keep taking one step at a time. Even when you are making a little progress, it is better than not making any progress.
You can achieve anything when you set your mind to it. You need to set specific, attainable goals. Reach out for support when you need to and never give up on yourself.
