From Small Wins to Big Successes: How Celebrating the Little Things Can Lead to Great Achievements
High achievers have big ambitions. Big dreams, big visions, big goals, and big ideas. But it’s all too common for these go-getters to be hard on themselves, expecting to reach greatness and success by taking huge leaps, often missing the small yet important steps.
We live in a fast-paced world that encourages immediate gratification, and because of this, it’s easy to feel disappointed when what we want doesn’t manifest. We begin to push ourselves harder, resulting in burnout that discourages us.
But there is another path to success that challenges the status quo…
It involves compassion towards yourself, gratitude, joy, and a steady pace. And it all begins with celebrating the little things – the small wins you make in life.
Here are 3 Ways to Celebrate the Little Things:
1. Focus on your daily habits and routine.
Focusing on your daily habits and routine is a powerful way to make small wins every day. It’s valuable to set big goals for yourself, but the key to reaching them involves climbing a ladder of smaller steps and wins to celebrate along the way!
Think about your daily habits and routine and how you can improve them. It could be drinking more water, committing to a daily yoga practice, cooking a homemade meal, or writing in your journal each morning. These things may seem small, but you should give yourself permission to celebrate them!
2. Allow yourself to celebrate good feelings, not just completed tasks.
It’s easy to get caught up in a work mentality and focus only on task-oriented success. But what if you chose to celebrate your good mood, your kindness, or your loving nature?
Celebrate yourself when you overcome negative thinking or when you choose to love yourself instead of being hard on yourself. Success isn’t only about what you accomplish in the material realm, but also how you feel about yourself…and that is worth celebrating!
3. Practice writing down positive affirmations and celebratory check-ins.
We get it – sometimes it’s not easy to celebrate our wins when we get stuck in a pattern of self-criticism or perfectionism. That’s where positive affirmations and check-ins can help us reprogram our minds to think positively about ourselves and our lives. Write down positive affirmations in your Soulwork Journal daily!
We also created a weekly check-in page in our Soulwork Planner that begins with “3 Wins Of The Week!”
The Mantra Co Soulwork Planner is an incredible tool to help you organize and set goals while giving you space to check in with your accomplishments and help you celebrate each step along the way!
Small things add up, and consistent good habits begin to cultivate more strength and confidence within yourself.
So what small goals will you set for yourself that will lead you on the path towards reaching those big ones?
