Completing a goal is a significant achievement, no matter how big or small. It represents dedication, hard work, and perseverance. While it’s important to set goals and work towards them, it’s equally important to celebrate your success once you’ve reached them. Celebration not only provides a sense of accomplishment but also boosts morale and motivates you to tackle your next challenge.
It can be very challenging for many people to celebrate their own success. Some clients that I talk to don’t want to celebrate because they don’t feel like they’ve done enough to deserve it. I’ve been there too. Personal celebration can feel hard and self-indulgence can bring negative feelings. It’s important to overcome those feelings with the understanding that the act of celebration actually leads to more success. So, before you say that you don’t need to celebrate your accomplishments, remember that celebration is an important part of the behavior change process to keep motivating you towards your next achievement.
