Do you allow yourself a moment to acknowledge where you are today and how far you’ve come? If you’re anything like I used to be, it might feel awkward, even challenging, to do that.
In this episode, I explain why celebration might be hard for you, why it’s important to practice, and the role that it plays in creating happiness.
Typically, your brain’s default setting is to zero in on where you’re failing, but you can change how you experience life by intentionally shifting what you pay attention to. When you celebrate your small wins, you’re more likely to keep moving in that direction and cultivate contentment along the way.
I share a few examples and analogies of how I’ve seen this show up in clients and in my own life. Becoming a celebrator helps you notice progress and growth, which are important factors for staying consistent with your goals and ultimately experiencing happiness. Listen in to learn more about the significance of celebration and how you can incorporate more of it into your life.
