These moments matter. They build momentum, confidence, and belief in your ability to keep going.
Create a three-column table with these headers:
Small Win | Why It Matters | What Next
Think about recent actions that felt like steps forward. They might be tiny habits, decisions you made, things you showed up for, or moments when you kept trying even when it was hard.
| Small Win | Why It Matters | What Next |
|---|---|---|
| Logged into my school portal for the first time in months | It was my first step toward re-enrolling | Look up the classes I still need |
| Reached out to my instructor with a question | I asked for support instead of avoiding it | Follow up on their guidance this week |
| Finished one short assignment | I proved I can start and complete something | Plan my next 20 minutes of study time |
| Set my alarm the night before | I prepared for the day instead of rushing | Keep the routine going for the rest of the week |
Save your list where you can revisit it. Add to it anytime you notice a moment that deserves recognition.
What is something small you did this week that helped you move forward?
Did you show up, try again, or choose to keep going?
How could you build on that momentum?
Small wins are fuel. Each one shows you that progress is already happening. Let these moments remind you of your strength, your effort, and your ability to keep moving toward your goals.
