Feeling good about reaching mini goals

Hi Tirala,
 
Great question. In our overly productive society I am sure many people feel as you do - One can never get enough done. But as you know this is counter productive and can cause a lot of stress. It is also a cognitive distortion. You can challenge this thinking, "Well, anyone could have done this" as you would another cognitive distortion. Once you get farther along in the program you will learn more techniques on how to do this.
 
In the mean time, let's answer the question you posed to yourself. What's there to feel good about when you complete those mini steps? Try to brainstorm as many answers as you can.

I often have the problem, that I don't appreciate it, when I've done a little step towards reaching a goal.
 
One the one hand, it is important to divide goals in mini steps (especially since I'm THAT good in procrastinating ;)), but if the steps are really small, I often catch myself thinking "Well, anyone could have done this, what's there to feel good about?" 
 
What does help me, is a "token system" I created for myself, but I wonder, if I can do more to stop myself from talking down my achievments. I know, that it will be harder for me to appreciate achieving mini goals when I feel better (being less depressed and more active), and I'm thinking about how I can prevent this.
 
What do you do to be proud of things you've done, although it are "only" mini steps?
 
(And sorry for the language mistakes I might have done, I'm from Germany and English is not my mother tongue.)
