Why this matters:
In our hustle-driven world, we're often so focused on what's next that we forget to acknowledge how far we've come or what we've already absorbed. This isn't about a deep dive into your KPIs or a soul-crushing assessment of "what could have been." Nope. This is about a quick shot of self-recognition and the quiet wisdom you've accumulated. It's a gentle rebellion against the constant forward momentum, a moment to appreciate the journey (even the bumpy bits!). Plus, those small moments of pride and learning are the fuel that keeps us going strong.
Your 2-Minute Mission (Toronto Time or wherever you are!)
Set a timer for 2 minutes. Seriously, just 120 seconds.
Grab a pen and paper (or your favourite notes app).
Think back to January until now. What stands out?
Jot down one "proud moment" and one "surprising lesson." Don't overthink it—the first things that come to mind are often the most authentic.
Remember to update your LinkedIn profile if it’s worthy!
That's it. Two minutes. No judgment, just a little love for your past self and a nod to your ongoing growth.
