How to Celebrate Your Self

I love being Practical, have Knowledge that I can applied.
So here is what you can Focus on

  • Acknowledge & Celebrate your
    Wins, Successes, Victories, Steps, Milestones, Achievements.
  • Reflect on the Past Day, Week, Year, Decade, Life & Highlight, Acknowledge & Celebrate Your Major Wins, Successes, Victories, Steps, Milestones, Achievements.
    Come up with 3 to 5 or 7 Points that you can easily Remember
    (for example when you … stop smoking, had that certification, win that race, accomplish your goals, reach that milestones, ….)
    Write it Down & Read it often.***
  • Value YourSelf Reflecting, Acknowledging & Celebrating it fills your cup, it tune yourself into your heart, it grounds you in your Inner Resource « your Inner Refuge », it align you, it gives you energy & passion, it makes you Shine your Light, …
  • It is Being Your Best Friend & Partner
    an Act of Self-Love, Kindness & Compassion.
  • It’s not about drinking alcohol, going to a party, or anything like that. It’s much Deeper, it is Acknowledging your Worth, Beauty & Uniqueness That you Life & Journey is Valuable, Contributing & Making a Difference in your own unique way. You are the Creation of something Mysterious that brought you here.
  • Why Stop at You, Celebrate People around You. Your Family, Loved Ones, Friends, Relatives, even Strangers. Remind them they have something worth of Celebration in their Life. We tend to forget, how good, generous, kind, abundant we are !

Why Celebrating ?

If you don’t, why People should
Acknowledge, Value & Celebrate You ?

It is Good for your

  • Mental Health, Emotional Health, Physical Health. It Produce Chemicals in your body that Enhance Health.
  • Motivation, Enthusiasm, Energy, Passion, Drive, … are Nurtured & Empowered by Celebration.
  • It Build new neuro pathways in your brain that will replaced the old neuro pathways of the Inner Critic.
  • As a nanny I Celebrated lots of babies in their first …. it made them Shine so Freaking Bright. We are no Different. Taking Time to Fully Acknowledge, Value, Celebrate Important Major Life’s Accomplishments is NEEDED to Be Anchored in our Memories.
  • So if that’s not Enough, just the Joy of Celebrating Activates You Physically, Emotionally, Physically & Spiritually. It Remind You that Life is Worth Living, Worth Dreaming Big, Worth Spreading your Magic & Love.
  • When You Celebrate you don’t F***k your Mind. We all have all types of daily concerns that overwhelm us, Celebrating YourSelf is that Cheap Quick Holiday or Break from all you have to deal with everyday & … it’s a lot !
  • It becomes an Healthy Routine & Habit that is consolidated in your brain, the more you Practice, the more you can rely on this SuperPower of Yours.
  • It becomes your Energetic Baseline, from which You Feel, Live, Act, Connect with the Inner & outer world.
  • Most of us did not Grow up Being Celebrated. It’s never too late to Start Giving us what we did lack in the past.

The Benefits of Celebrating ?

Besides the Major Health side-Effects
I mentioned
, It …

  • Heals Parts of You that have never been Celebrated
    Yes Ouch … it hurst to not have received that Love, Attention.
  • Restore Trust & Connection from these Parts, so they don’t
    Sabotage your Projects, Relationships & Future.
  • People who didn’t Celebrated You, did because they were just Ignorant, didn’t experience it themselves, so it was impossible for them to give you what they never received.
  • There is a huge Healing of your Inner Child happening, because this part doesn’t have your maturity, level of consciousness. To Give YourSelf that Energy of Celebration have Deep impact on the Inner Child Parts.
  • We may have all experience how being Rejected, Betrayed, Abandoned Feels Celebrating is restoring a Deep Trust & Faith for Parts who has Experienced that in the Past. We can more easily forget hardships when Joy is There !
  • Celebration Connect You to Joy, Flow, Happiness, Smile, Laughter, Play, Lightness, Playfulness, Love, Deep Breathing, Relaxation, Energy,
    Peace of Mind, Vitality, Bliss, Fun, Life.

The Price of not Celebrating ?

Having only the Inner Critic Activated Consciously or not
that is in the driving seat
Leading your Choices, Decisions & Actions.
Vs

Joy, Vitality, Passion Energy into your Life
