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.
