Celebrate Your Wins

During a recent webinar, I talked about something simple but powerful:

𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬.

Not just the big ones.
Not just the ones other people see.
All of them.

After the session, I heard from one of the leaders. She reminded me that years ago, when she earned a promotion, I had told her: “𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. 𝘉𝘶𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶. 𝘕𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘴.”

She did.

And when she earned her next promotion, she did it again.

Now, each time she sees those items, she remembers exactly why she bought them and it brings her joy.

We spend so much time pushing, achieving, serving, and showing up for others that 𝐰𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

There's a reframe to learn this:
✨ Don’t wait for someone else to recognize you.
✨ Mark the milestones - big or small.
✨ Give yourself permission to celebrate the person you’re becoming.

Feel proud of your wins. Every single one.

And that's the end of year lightning bolt to take you into the new year.
