Celebrate Your Wins

A time to list accomplishments, allowing praise, feeling deep pride, knowing that you are deserving of positive attention.

Acting as if wins are no big deal, focusing on what didn’t work instead of what did, not taking the time to see what’s working, being overly “sassy” instead of drawing people in through celebrating your process, not sharing genuine excitement for your project.

You’ve earned a few golden stars that you haven’t given yourself enough credit for, and it’s time to indulge in some serious self-praise with some lavish celebration. Go all out! Look for the wins you’ve had and focus on everything you’ve accomplished. Write it down. See the progress you’ve made, because you’ve come a long way, baby! It can be far too easy to ruminate on what’s not working and, as a result, some of your amazing work gets shrugged off, downplayed, or downright missed. Are you able to see the tremendous strides you’ve taken? It’s okay to boast and flaunt a little—sometimes you need to! How easily can you communicate your triumphs to others? Do you invite them to partake in your celebration?

This card isn’t suggesting a fugly, pushy, salesy, look-at-me kind of cock-a-doodle-doo. It’s talking about honestly and enthusiastically sharing your wins in order to energetically bring you more of the same. Take a big breath in, and gracefully and authentically accept the fact that you are on the right track and ready to rock!

Have you ever thrown yourself a party? What would close friends and family say your best qualities are? Your greatest gifts? Go ahead and ask them! If that makes you feel uncomfortable, ask yourself why.
