Let’s Celebrate!
By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach
Woohoo! It’s March and hopefully the beautiful weather I look so forward to will be staying with us for longer periods of time. Just thinking about that brings forth a celebratory feeling for me. Recently on one of my meditation classes, our teacher was speaking about three items: Being ready, accomplishing, and celebrating your accomplishments. I was totally there with being ready and accomplishing, and yet when she approached the idea of celebrating those accomplishments, I fell flat!
I have been having this discussion with several people, curious about if, and how, they might celebrate those big and even small items of accomplishment. I am finding that most people are similar to me in that they may be proud of what they have done, and yet, that’s as far as it goes.
Last week, as I completed facilitating a Leadership Academy, I had them close with how they planned to celebrate completing their first module. The responses varied and brought me back to the same realization that most of us ignore this piece.
This week, I am tossing out this challenge to you ~ how can you celebrate your own successes? These can be anything that occurs. One of my friends is a master celebrator and finds something each day to give attention to from this perspective. Just listening to her inspired me. So, let’s all go forth and CELEBRATE!!
