Don’t Forget You

I think many of us are past due for a celebration. 

About what? You!

When? Every day!

How? It’s up to you!

Don’t wait for a birthday or a promotion. There is no better time than today.

Celebrate every win, from the smallest to the epic. Little hard-won victories give us that get-up-and-go to tackle bigger ones to be celebrated.

Keep a list of what you are grateful for in your life. Each one is a win.  

Gratitude should always be celebrated and yet it is often forgotten.

And if you fall short of some imaginary bar you set for yourself, it’s okay. (See it as an opportunity, not a setback; maybe a better path awaits.) Pat yourself on the back for the willingness to forge ahead. 

Take a day just for yourself. No laundry. No yardwork. Kitchen duties can wait.   Reach for a double scoop of your favorite ice cream smothered in whipped cream.

Treat yourself to sunny flowers, a fun balloon, or a mouthwatering meal. 

Own every success. Every milestone. It’s not bragging. It’s just You!

Isn’t it about time to celebrate You?

Congratulations!
