Did you know that celebrating your own accomplishments can make all the difference for you? It is unfortunate that many of us have conditioned our minds that we should swiftly move to the next goal after accomplishing one in order to be successful. As a result, most people don’t create time to celebrate their significant goals. Unsurprisingly, moving onto your next goal without celebrating your other accomplishments is the easiest way of burning yourself out. In simpler terms, there’s a lot to celebrate in life including organizational milestones, weddings, graduation, sporting victories, new jobs, anniversaries and birthdays among other things.
Why should you celebrate your accomplishments?
Here’s why;
You made it happen
Sometimes, we have the belief that only hard work will propel us to success. While this has some ounces of truth in it, it’s important to acknowledge our own successes that may go unnoticed by others. You have to feel proud of every accomplishment you make to happen. Reaching an organizational accomplishment despite the numerous challenges, distractions, negativity, and resistance you had to overcome along the way is worth celebrating. Whether it’s an individual or group effort, you have every reason to pop some champagne for making it happen. The thing is, don’t wait for others to notice your achievements in order to acknowledge them yourself.
2. It makes you feel incredible about yourself
Celebrating your achievements no matter how big or small they are will definitely leave you feeling good about yourself. In reality, celebrating triggers the release of Endorphins which is good for your Psychology and Physiology. Not celebrating every milestone you hit is not only mean but robs you an essential right of feeling incredibly good about yourself. It makes no sense feeling empty, sad and discouraged for failing or achieving lackluster results if you cannot afford to spare a few minutes or hours to feel excited about your many accomplishments. It is the right time to change that ridiculous mindset and start celebrating every goal you accomplish without any excuses or apologies. You deserve to feel good for every win you manage.
3. Celebrating boosts teamwork and strengthens Networking
Do you have business partners or colleagues? Well, if you do that’s good for you. Working with others to achieve a certain goal is never an easy thing. There will always be that mischievous fellow doing the opposite of what others are doing. Overcoming such hurdles requires tremendous team spirit in order to accomplish your set goals. Every team accomplishment you achieve is worth celebrating. Why? It is simple. Celebrating your milestones together will likely tighten your network and team spirit. Developing a strong bond with your colleagues will ultimately make it possible for individuals/team members to work extra hard to make it easy for the team to accomplish anything.
4. Attracts more success and makes you a winner
One of the greatest things about celebrating your accomplishments is that it makes you develop a winning mentality. It is normal for our brains to release dopamine every time we anticipate making something impossible possible. This excitement is bound to shape you into a winner with each celebration. Resultantly, you will become happier, more confident and success hungry which is just what you need to achieve greatness in life.
In summary, celebrating your accomplishments will ultimately motivate others to emulate your hard work, innovativeness or creativity. With this in mind, consider throwing a big party to share your success and don’t apologize to anyone for doing it.
