It’s very easy to judge ourselves based on the totality of our life achievements. You might be a certain age without that executive management position, or you might only just be on your way to weight loss despite becoming much larger in the pandemic. That’s absolutely fine, just remember, many people would really love to start from where you’re starting now, and your status doesn’t define you.
This mindset affords us the space to reconsider and reprioritize that which is most important in life. If we can do that, then in the long run we become more perceptive and receptive to changing our habits, and also the mental loops that define us as we move forward in this strange and exciting world.
For that reason, we would always recommend celebrating the small wins in life. If you can do that, you may be amazed at the results, and just how capable this helps you feel. Overall, such an approach can also help you define yourself anew, feel more confident, and build momentum. Let’s consider how that might work:
Spend Some Time Recognizing Your Accomplishments
Beginning with taking the time to recognize your successes, no matter how great or small, is the first step towards celebrating the little victories in life. This could entail pausing to consider something for which you are proud, such as completing a job at work or realizing a personal objective. If you’ve just managed to run three miles for the first time, don’t dismiss it as “I should have been in-shape by now anyway” – really give yourself to the achievement and let yourself smile.
Share Your Achievements With Others
Sharing your achievements with others can be another way to celebrate tiny victories in life. This could be sharing your accomplishments with a friend or member of your family or posting them on social media.
Sharing your accomplishments with others can strengthen your sense of community and give you support and inspiration. It can also serve as a means of motivating others and demonstrating to them the power of perseverance and hard effort. In some cases, you can talk with communities online that may celebrate your wins. For instance, Reddit’s keto diet forum actively celebrates those who healthily lose weight on the diet. Don’t feel ashamed for wanting a little toast from time to time, you earned it.
Give Yourself A Nice Treat
Celebrating life’s little victories might often involve spoiling oneself. This could entail treating yourself to a favorite meal or activity or purchasing something you’ve been eyeing, like a new jacket or a vape with The Standard.
Additionally, it can entail scheduling some time for self-care activities like having a massage or taking a soothing bath. You can reward yourself for your efforts and successes by giving yourself a special treat, which will also improve your mood and general well-being. And yes, provided you don’t fall back into a bad habit, a little indulgence is nice too, such as going to a steakhouse after a year on a diet.
With this advice, you’re sure to celebrate the small wins in life, in the best possible way.
