Hello friends,

Our goals tend to build on each other, so it can be easy when we achieve on goal, to simply see it as a milestone or step towards an even larger or different goal. Or even just to get caught up in our worries and forget to celebrate because we are already caught up in the next thing.

But as we’ve discussed before, celebrating the big and small wins is a crucial part of sustainable self improvement. Celebrating our successes reinforces the positive behavior and helps us stay motivated. If you are someone who has anxiety or feels impostor syndrome, recognizing our progress and victories is also really valuable because it starts to slowly build confidence and self trust. If we just brush past the achievement, we don’t take the time to encode in our brain that it was a meaningful part of a pattern.

Take 5-15 minutes and write about

What do you do after you achieve a big goal? How do you celebrate or reflect?

I’d love to hear more about how you celebrate!

Your friend,
Laura
