Celebration strengthens us remarks Joyce in Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes. She goes on to ask us some questions; Do you celebrate when your child stands for the first time or when your dog does a trick right? What about celebrating yourself and your progress? Did you wake up early and go exercise this morning? Did you eat healthy all day? Did you drink your recommended 8 glasses of water? Woohoo if you did! Let's celebrate!
When I was in my early 20's and I got mad about something. I would get extremely mad to were I was irrational. Now I am able to contain myself more. This is progress. I've matured to not get so upset about things. Progress!
Hopefully, we all progress everyday. We are probably less selfish, mean, angry, and more patient, loving and kind today than yesterday. If this is what we work on. Or you may be more efficient in your job role then when you first started out. The fact is as humans we progress, it's in our nature and it feels great. Keep it up! What else would you like to progress in?
Find ways of celebrating your progress instead of mourning excessively over your mistakes, says Joyce. I get nervous speaking in a meeting at work with a lot of people. I've been pushing myself for the last couple of years to speak regardless of how many butterflies are in my stomach and light my head gets. Sometimes I think what I have just said came out confusing and that I could of said it better once I thought it through. Instead of getting down on myself I quietly celebrate that I spoke and congratulate myself for speaking. Don't get down on yourself, look at the bright side of the situation and celebrate that!
