Why is it so hard for us to take the time to celebrate our accomplishments? Why don’t we make the time? Why can’t we can’t drag our focus away from the every day tasks long enough to feel good about what we have done well? Do we think we are so self motivated that we don’t need some silly celebration to recognize our achievements? Sound familiar?
And yet, we pay a price for passing up the chance to feel rewarded. We feel so beaten down that we find it hard to remember the good news of the day, much less a week ago. We find ourselves feeling frustrated, discouraged and unsuccessful. We wonder if anyone even knows how hard we are working. So how can we change our behavior? Be a celebration champion!
With the influence of a disciplined advocate, the rest of the team begins to develop celebration habits also. The champion keeps insisting on asking the “What do you feel GOOD about?” questions, and passes the good news on to others. He/she finds creative ways to celebrate milestone achievements and refuses to accept the excuses others give for skipping out on celebrations. Go ahead! Be the Celebration Champion!
Do you have ideas on how how to celebrate your accomplishments?
