Do you ever stop to Celebrate Yourself
I have always had a hard time celebrating myself. Have You? It takes reminding myself to do so ~ almost daily. And, I actually have to create time in my calendar for this. I so often do not see all that I have done in my life or during an actual day.
I know where this stems from. I was always told to be humble, never brag, to celebrate others over self. It took doing some deep healing work to recognize that celebrating self is not bragging. Sharing who you are and what you’ve done does not mean you are not humble. Celebrating yourself does not mean you can not celebrate others.
By not Celebrating Yourself with you, your family and your friends, you are actually doing a disservice to yourself and a disservice to others
I’m a forward thinker. I look at the dreams I have ahead. I look at the path to take and the opportunities to seek out. I look at the tasks of each day. I continue to look ahead so that I might see obstacles that I can navigate through. I look ahead to be open to opportunities and adjust my path accordingly. But, that doesn’t give me much time to celebrate what I have done.
This serves no one well because you have no reference point to appreciate your strengths, your abilities, and your successes. You are simply doing what needs to be done. There’s no opportunity to see what you have learned and what you have accomplished.
By taking the time to celebrate yourself, it allows you to embrace the determined spirit you hear inside of you. It gives you the chance to increase your confidence and to believe in yourself.
The Ramifications If you do not celebrate yourself:

~ People are not drawn to you as they do not see your inner strength
~ People are drawn to you who not serve you well.
Your confidence is diminished, your stress level rises, and your own immune system suffers.

You must celebrate yourself for all that you do. Celebrate YOU. For you do more than you ever think that you do.
Celebrating achievements is also fun. On a day to day, basis create a routine where you allow yourself to review your day. See where you learned something. Where a mis-take was turned into an opportunity and where you had success.
There are times when you can celebrate yourself at the end of a period of time or when a project is completed or a milestone within a project is met. Sit into the feeling you get. Allow yourself to embrace how this elevates your spirit and lifts your confidence.
