Think of an action and memory that Sparks happiness and hold on to that feeling and empower it with a victory dance. Lol.
I like to look in the mirror and affirm to myself what I did well and notice how good that feels. Might look like talking to yourself, but you can’t be insincere if you’re looking into your own eyes talking about your successes 😍
Anything you enjoy can become a celebration! If you finish a report or nasty spreadsheet for work take yourself out to lunch instead of staying at your desk! If you just completed the hardest workout of your life jump for joy! Hug someone, laugh, dance, listen to your personal anthem, post a pick, kiss your honey, play with your kids! Turn every moment into a party! Smile and feel good! Celebrating can be loud or inside your heart just living each minute like a blessing instead of sad and you will always feel like the celebration never stops! Even in a hard moment there are small obstacles to overcome and can be celebrated as learning your soul may need. Life isn’t easy and an easy life has never been promised so why mourn the world when we can bring joy to those around. “If you see someone without a smile give’em yours!” Dolly Parton.
I celebrate my successes by first congratulating myself, telling myself how proud I am of myself really helps make me feel accomplished. I realised I should thank myself even for the simple things. I also celebrate with a nice hearty meal, a cup of nice warm chocolate
Go back to that tennis imagery! What do you do when you shockingly come out on top when it was neck and neck! That impuslive reaction of joy, do that.
Well I treat myself with coffee or tea and chocolate, If your goal is not to cut on sugar! also, watching a movie can work!
I often just simply enjoy the completion of the task, but you could make some sort of victory ritual like a little exclamation, dance or gesture. Or you could buy some stickers to put in your calender everyday when completing your tasks. It’s about finding something that does it for you.
Go and hangout with the person that makes you Laugh or the person that you love. Or even watch your favourite show/movie
Start with gratitude. Everyday be thankful for and acknowledge all the small things – from just waking up, breath, sight, sunshine. Then celebrate that you got up and you went somewhere. As you celebrate the small things that are taken for granted, it will encourage you to do more, and then you can celebrate those achievements as well.
You can dance to your songs on your iPod, phone, or iPad. Or you can get your nails done. You could also get a spa day or soak in Epsom salt. Whatever you choose you can do.
