"One step, one punch, one round at a time" - Rocky Balboa

This quote is one of those quotes that I refer to when I'm not feeling engaged. It really helps me get back into the moment and realize that I can't do it all at once and if I think I can, then I'm going to fail. what I really need to do is take the first step then the next step then the next punch then the next round and on and on and on.

The past week and a half I haven't been feeling very well.  I's been a been a struggle physically and mentally has been a bit of a drain as well.  Today I felt better and I started with the Advent challenge and man it really helped me. This was step one.  I can only speak for myself but I think every one of us needs to find those sayings, those quotes those little tidbits that help us refocus, recenter and get that first step in.  Once that step is taken, then onto focusing on the next punch, then the next round.  This mantra is all about re focusing, re centering and taking it bit by bit.  The mountain in front of me can seem daunting but one step at a time is all I need to keep moving forward.

I knew there was going to be low times in this year. What I focused on this year was trying not to have too many highs and not too many lows. I think I've accomplished this. What I used to do in past years when I had a low would to retreat into myself and disappear. I'm happy that this year things are different. I think a lot of it has to do with maturity and where I am in my life. I used to focus on the little things that didn't matter versus losing sight on the bigger picture.  This was discouraging and de motivating.

I'm going to continue with one step at a time one punch at a time and one round at a time.
