We Forgot to Celebrate, Didn’t We? You know that feeling? You’ve been working hard, pushing towards that big goal, and then… you forget. Not the goal itself, but the little victories along the way. Maybe it’s finishing that tricky task you’ve been avoiding. Or finally making progress on a side project. Or even just getting through a tough week with a smile. We’re all so focused on hitting those BIG milestones, both in our personal and professional lives, that we often forget to pause and recognize these small wins. But those small wins? They’re what get us to the big ones. Step by step. So, here’s a reminder: Celebrate the little moments. They matter just as much. What’s one small win you’re celebrating today?

Last week of Q1 🤘 Let's celebrate the wins. In my experience, we are always quick to look ahead. What do we want to achieve in Q2? What has to happen to get us closer to our 1-year plan? Yes, looking ahead is important which is why we have quarterly planning. But first, take a step back and truly look at the past 3 months. Celebrate the wins! Celebrate what worked, celebrate yourself and your team. Take the time to recognize and acknowledge all the good things. What is one thing you are celebrating from Q1? ✨

Do you celebrate your wins? I encourage you to. Sarah and I have a tradition – we celebrate our wins – from small milestones to bigger achievements. Here’s why this is such a wonderful thing to do, that you'll never regret... So often, the year feels like a 12-month cycle of goal achievement. We set goals, work hard, monitor progress, get to the last quarter, start stressing, and end up with a result at the end. Do we celebrate or sulk? That feels like way too much pressure to me, and it doesn’t give credit to all the good things that happen along the way. It’s also gives to much power to arbitrary goals. We love what we do. We’re committed it all for the long haul. Every milestone, every win, every step of progress – it’s all something to celebrate. What good thing happened recently? Great! It's a win. Go have a nice dinner to celebrate. You’ll be so glad you did.

The secret to having an easy life whilst doing hard things👇 ... is to celebrate every win! There is nothing wrong with having an easy life, but you are led to believe there is. What are you celebrating today? More specifically, what part of you are you celebrating? You see, you are so conditioned to celebrate wins! Big wins like a new job, new house 🏠 new baby 👶 a promotion 😁 that you forget to celebrate the very reason, the very thing the wins are here in the first place!🤯😮💥 Yes, YOU! You forget to celebrate yourself, your very being, all the great things you bring to this world by just being YOU. because your self-image (ironically created by other people's limitations🙄) is not where you think you need to be! Listen, you are exactly where you need to be right now!🥰 Celebrate every moment, every win... and dare I say every loss because even that creates new space for what needs to be in your life right now! When you see that, you'll feel much better and your life will become much easier! You can do hard things, for sure, but it doesn't mean you have to make your life hard and suffer! So, what are you celebrating about yourself today? Let me know in the comments!

🎉 Celebrating wins As I reflect on a busy week here at Sea Global I think it’s so important to celebrate your wins, no matter how big or small! It can sometimes be very easy to get caught up in the end results and diminish your smaller wins. Whether that would be delivering a project, renegotiating a contract or simply making some headway with a stakeholder. What wins have you celebrated this week? Comment below 👇

How do you celebrate your wins? When I worked at Indeed a few colleagues and I would share our wins every Friday. It was a great way to reflect on the positive moments. Stress can easily get in the way of clouding our thoughts and not letting us see all of the light around us. Every week there are ups and downs in our careers: clients that are challenging, a manager who is demanding, a presentation that seems daunting to finish, goals that seem impossible to achieve. You have to take a moment to reflect and see that every week you're slowly chipping away at what you want. Despite the noise. What were you wins this week?

🎉 Let's Celebrate Wins: Both Small and Big! 🚀 In the hustle of our daily grind, it's easy to overlook the victories, both big and small, that propel us forward. 🌟 Whether it's closing a deal, launching a project, or simply conquering a challenging task, every achievement deserves recognition and celebration. 💼 As professionals, we often set our sights on grand milestones, but it's the accumulation of these smaller victories that pave the path to success. Each win, no matter how minor it may seem, contributes to our growth and keeps us motivated along the journey. 👏 Let's take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate these triumphs – the successful presentation, the positive feedback from a client, the completion of a difficult project phase. These moments not only validate our efforts but also energize us for the road ahead. 🎈 So, let's make it a habit to celebrate wins, big and small. Let's recognize and appreciate the efforts that drive us toward our goals.

The weeks with the biggest wins aren’t what you think they are. They’re the weeks when things absolutely go to sh*t but you don’t dip back to your previous pattern of all or nothing thinking. One of my clients recently had a week where work was crazy, where driving conditions added a bunch of extra stress and commute times, where groceries didn’t get delivered and so on. And how she handled it was so awesome. It’s easy to have a stellar week when everything is going well and life is giving you an easy time. But to dig deep into the skills we’ve worked on, find good answers to the question “What’s my best next choice” and not say “f%*k it” are THE weeks to celebrate. Celebrate those wins. They matter. In fact, they matter the most.

Celebrate Every Milestone! In our fast-paced world, it’s all too easy to focus on what we haven’t accomplished rather than acknowledging the strides we’ve already made. We tend to be our own harshest critics, often overlooking the progress we’ve achieved, no matter how small it may seem. Every milestone—big or small—deserves recognition. Whether you’ve completed a project, learned a new skill, or simply made it through a tough week, take a moment to celebrate these accomplishments. It's this recognition that fuels motivation and positivity, helping us maintain momentum on our journeys. So, let’s shift our perspective! Instead of fixating on what’s left to do, let’s appreciate how far we've come. Share your wins, no matter how minor they may feel. Encourage your colleagues to do the same and create a culture of celebration around growth and progress. Together, let’s uplift one another and celebrate each step in our journeys! What milestones are you celebrating this month?
