Power of Celebrating Your Wins in Life and In Business

Let’s take a moment to congratulate yourself for showing up, listening in, and committing to doing the work better to serve you, your life, and your business if you choose!

I want you to take a moment to think about how this makes you feel. Do you feel excited with possibilities or overwhelmed by not knowing where you are going?

My goal with this podcast is to help you gain clarity, set goals for yourself, and a plan of how you will pursue your dream life. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting out of our own way, out of our comfort zone, and taking the first step. 

Every week will build on the last. So make sure to subscribe and follow along.

I really wanted to start this off with the importance of Celebrating and appreciating the seemingly small things in life.

Let me ask you this: Do you properly appreciate the stuff that doesn't go wrong in your life? 🤔

 A million things go right every day - do you notice them? 

This literally means - every single thing in your life that you don't have cause to complain about - working wifi, hot water, money in the bank, no health issues, having caring friends and family, no natural disaster in your town... it never ends! ❤

Here's what I know to be true: not only will appreciating the things that most people overlook make you a more joyful, magnetic person...

 It also dials up your manifesting powers to NO END.

Appreciation is the most important emotion in attracting MORE of what you want. 

A negative thought cannot co-exist with a feeling of gratitude. And what you focus on expands. 

Appreciation puts you on a whole new, high vibing, gimme-more-of-the-good-stuff-please frequency. It's really incredible what follows you when you're in this place. ✨

Don't take my word for it though. Look around - is it the appreciators or the complainers who are thriving?

By now, you know that appreciation is a choice we get to make every day.

Appreciation matters - and not just when something amazing and unexpected happens.

Not that long ago, I had no idea what I was doing with the coaching business.

I'd look at the experts in my arena and wonder how they got to where they were. They were teaching such valuable information, living such beautiful lives, and being able to up-level their business and pursue their dreams without (what it looked like from the outside) flaws. But then, one day, I decided to stop looking at all those leaders...and become one myself. At the time, I struggled with clarity, overcoming my fear of rejection, the fraud complex, my time management, commitment, and money stories. I felt trapped. Like I wouldn't be able to create an impact without reinventing the wheel.

  I bet you have some of these same feelings right now on your journey.

But then things changed.

I started to appreciate all the things that had led me to that very point. I started to celebrate the fact that I had an amazing career that gave me so many tools that I could use to pave a new path going forward. I started to take notice of the things around me that are really great,... and realized that I created that.

 I learned to celebrate the fact that I desired all of those things and they were right in front of me. I was going through the motions and i hadn’t even noticed that every thing I desired was already working in my favor. 

I learned to celebrate my own unique voice, vibe, and vision for what is possible.

 When I realized that everything that has happened up to this point was by design of my own doing, I celebrated all of it. When things didn’t go my way or seemed very hard,I used it it as a powerful learning experience and stepping stones to improve the situation for the future.

 When I changed my thinking, it helped me in numerous ways, like overcoming my fear, discovering and aligning my vision, I changed my mindset and got very specific with my goals.  When I made this shift in thinking, I realized that I was unstoppable and you can be too.

I want you to get very real with yourself about what you want to achieve and how you want to spend your time. So, please come with an open mind and a willingness to try something new. Trying something new or implementing a new way of thinking can be tricky, upsetting, exciting, or even refreshing. 

We want to create new habits and perhaps a new way of thinking to get the dream life we have always wanted ultimately. 

Here is a little exercise for you to do. Pull out a notebook or journal and write down your answers to these questions. If you are driving or not able to do this right away, that's ok but try to do this at some point soon.

Write down what has happened in your life that has brought you to where you are today?

 What happened in those moments that you can celebrate?

 They can be the littlest things or the biggest accomplishments. It doesn’t matter what they are but it matters that you can see what you have achieved and realize that you created all of it.

 Now, write down all the little things that go right in your life every day.

 Everything from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed. 

Pick a time in the day. 

Morning, noon, or night, right before bed to write out all the great things that went right that day. 

Do this for at least a week.

When you can clearly see all that life has to offer, your mindset shifts will start to happen. 

You will appreciate so much more in life and you will realize that you have the power to create the life that you have always wanted because you will be very aware of the things that have already happened for you just like you have always imagined.

Now, in the second part, I want you to think about something that is holding you back. Maybe it's self-doubt or fear of failure. Then, imagine what it would feel like to bust the ceiling on those limitations and finally achieve your inner desires or dreams for yourself. 

What did you do to achieve this?

 How does that make you feel? Do you feel joy and excitement, or do you feel a little uneasy and scared? Make sure to write it all down.

Then I want you to imagine yourself celebrating the achievement of busting those limitations. 

 What are you doing to celebrate? How does this make you feel?

When you can visualize what the feelings are before they happen, all of a sudden those things that seemed scary or hard, become not as scary or hard because you were able to visualize them, understand how they made you feel, work throught the emotion of it and ultimately, over time you will bust through the ceiling that holds you back. 

This does take practice and doing it over and over again. Fear and uncertainty will be there more often than not in every new level that you grow in.  But, Bringing in the high vibes and learning how to overcome the fear or the uncertainty when it creeps in is a total game-changer.
