Celebrate it all!

My husband and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary on Friday.  Even though we had a full weekend of sports and racing around with the kids, it was still important for us to find time to sneak away and celebrate. 

Because celebrating is important.

Celebrating all that we’ve achieved together. 
All that we’ve weathered together. 
The highs, the lows, and everything in between.

And the reason celebrating is so important is because it reinforces what is important to us.

The more you celebrate or bring attention to what is important to you, the more you are showing yourself AND each other what you value. And when you value something, you end up making it a higher priority, which then leads to giving it more time and attention. 

Pretty amazing loop to be caught in, right?

The simple act of celebration can create such a positive impact on your life. When you bring attention to something that really matters you end up naturally creating more of it in your life.   

So whether it is your relationship, your family, or your health… take the time to celebrate as you reach and surpass all those milestones along the way. I know the benefits are countless.

Cheers,

P.S. If celebrating feels self-indulgent or like there’s not enough to celebrate, you may need to shift your view. Celebrating doesn’t mean everything’s perfect and it certainly doesn’t have to be fireworks and tropical vacations. Celebrating can look like carving out a small pocket of time to just talk about how proud you are of where you’ve been and where you’re going… together.
