Do you celebrate yourself? Can you pause in your life when big things happen and you handle them well? Do you know how to celebrate yourself?

Today I want to talk about celebrating the wins in life. Whether big or small, we deserve to be celebrated! And you are your best cheerleader and oftentimes your worst critic. So what story are you telling yourself? Are you constantly judging yourself and telling yourself you need to do better? Are you telling yourself “you never do good enough”? Do you know how to recognize and validate when you do something really well?

I want you to know that it is so important to celebrate yourself! Your inner voice is the most listened-to voice that you have. We are constantly talking to ourselves. Whether you recognize it or not, we talk a lot to ourselves and we actually listen. What are the most common things you tell yourself? Do you believe you are good at what you do? Do you believe you have good intentions? When we can learn to change that inner critic to a cheerleader, we will have more confidence in ourselves. We will be braver to venture out to new things. We will be proud of ourselves and in return, be able to extend that to others.

What does it look like to celebrate the small wins?

Celebrating the small wins looks like,

• Pausing and taking a moment to say to yourself, “You just did that thing you’ve been working on doing! Well done!”
• It looks like recognizing when you did something different than what you normally do. You reacted calmly, rather than getting angry. You stayed engaged in a really difficult conversation, rather than running away and avoiding. You decided to stick to your budget in a moment, rather than spend money on a really good-looking burger. It doesn’t have to be multiple moments, just one.
• Talking positively and compassionately to yourself when you got something wrong. Celebrate that you could even see that it was wrong! (Like if you robbed a bank or talked poorly to someone) Or if it’s your inner critic talking, celebrate that you could recognize that your critic was talking. You were able to differentiate your voice from your inner critics. That’s huge!
• You took that small step that you’ve been wanting to take for a while.
• You ate the good food.
• You reached out to someone when you needed help.
• You rested because your body needed it.

It Doesn’t Have To Be A Grand Gesture

Celebrating yourself doesn’t have to be getting the donut or the pedicure. It doesn’t have to look like this big extravagant thing and the celebration doesn’t have to be because you did a huge thing. It looks like finding the small things you do in your every day that you are proud of yourself for. Celebrating the small changes in how you see yourself or relate to others It’s celebrating you for being amazing. Not for striving. This builds your trust in yourself when you are excited about the ways you are growing. It also promotes more growth! You will build more confidence as you start to celebrate yourself.
