Toms Astahovskis’ Post

Celebrate more victories! I used to think everyone likes celebrations. I mean who doesn't, right? Getting together, partying, clicking pictures, being ecstatic etc. But then I myself got to a point where I stopped celebrating. Asking, "Is this even worth celebrating?" hindered my mind. Because of this, I stopped seeing how far I had come as I was always looking for how far I had to go. Then I saw the same pattern around my people, my team and I realised that this has to change! This is when me & my colleague started the Party Planning Committee (PPC). We started celebrating birthdays, successful major deployments, team outings etc. People started celebrating too! Professional and Personal milestones. And now it has become a norm. We work, we celebrate. Simple. In this photo, our client team and we are celebrating one such much-awaiting victory. This was post a major, major requirement that involved multiple teams, stakeholders and management decisions. How often do you celebrate?

To everyone celebrating their birthday this month, Take this time to celebrate and reflect on the significant events and lessons learned throughout your journey. It is a wonderful opportunity to honour your achievements and look ahead to the future. As you celebrate and do some self introspections, remember to avoid these common pitfalls: (1). Don’t Compare: Avoid comparing yourself to others. Everyone’s journey is unique, and it’s important to focus on your own path and achievements. (2). Don’t Focus on Age: Try not to dwell on the number of years. Instead, focus on the experiences and wisdom you’ve gained over the years. (3). Don’t Neglect Self-Care: Make sure to prioritize self-care. It’s easy to get caught up in responsibilities, but taking care of yourself is essential. (4). Don’t Fear Change: Embrace the changes that come with aging. Life can bring wonderful surprises at any age, so stay open-minded. (5). Don’t Isolate Yourself: Avoid withdrawing from social activities. Stay engaged with your community and friends to maintain a fulfilling life. Happy Birthday to all of you! Enjoy your special Month 🎂 🥳 🎉.

Simple, brilliant idea

Take a second and imagine your 75th birthday party. What would make it perfect? What's the scene? Who is there? What is the atmosphere like? What do the people there think of you? What are they saying in conversations around the room? Now ask yourself: Are my behaviors and priorities leading me towards these aspirations, or away from them? Am I intentionally creating the legacy I desire or are the distractions of life pulling me off course? Begin with the end in mind and remember you build the future you want today.

I used to get caught up in getting it all done. There was always more to do and I thought if I could just work harder or work smarter, I would feel better. I would feel accomplished. But I just never got there. What I didn't realize, was that it would never be done. Celebrating was something I only did for the huge gains which did not happen very often. So I didn't cultivate those feelings of joy. I learned over time that celebrating your wins more frequently brought more joy to my life. So celebrate more often. You did great this week. Give yourself a pat on the back and find a way you can celebrate today. 🎉 🥂 Do something that brings you joy. 🔵 Have a picnic. You can do this at a park, at the beach, in your own yard, or even your own living room. 🔵 Cook a special meal. Doing this with friends or your kids can be fun. 🔵 Garden. Being outside, close to nature, and having something beautiful to look at when you are done can be a very joyful activity. 🔵 Explore your neighborhood. Just wander. You never know what treasures you will find. 🔵 Or just have a dance party. It's important to celebrate. It's important to cultivate those good feelings as much as you can. You are important! So, make it your purpose today to celebrate you.

I turned 27 yesterday. And here’s what I realized: I don’t celebrate myself enough. I’m always afraid that taking time to celebrate instead of focusing on what’s next will only lead to complacency. … and, ultimately, failure and regret. But all it really does? Reinforce the idea that I’ll never be “enough.” And that couldn’t be further from the truth. Because if I’ve learned anything, the key to progress is this: ↳ Take your time. ↳ Take a deep breath. ↳ Take a moment to celebrate. No matter how small. You deserve it. In an effort to follow my own advice (because who even does that), here are 7 wins I’m proud of heading into Year 27: ⤵️ 1. I’ve consistently written content for over 90 days. 2. I’m meeting my son for the 1st time next week. 3. I celebrated my 1-year wedding anniversary. 4. I’ve connected with my favorite creators. 5. I’m excited about what the future holds. 6. I’m proud of who I am becoming. 7. I started writing on LinkedIn. — I’ve learned that celebrating your wins is more than just feeling good. Because when we remind ourselves of our achievements, no matter how small, we remind ourselves how capable and worthy we truly are. So, here’s to not just moving forward but taking the time to look back and appreciate how far we’ve come. Because this life is one we should enjoy every step of the way.
