How to make the most of your accomplishments to drive more growth. Discover the secret power of celebrating even the smallest daily achievements.
On New Year’s Eve, we look ahead and set goals to achieve our outcomes for the coming year. We reflect on what we want and who we want to become. Nevertheless, we must also celebrate success during this time.
Why? Success only inspires you to build upon it. When you celebrate your accomplishments, it increases your desire to win and triumph even further. Your standards for success will be raised, and you’ll develop the rituals and habits needed for sustainable success to become a way of life.
Different people celebrate success in different ways. Our Instagram community responded with more than 400 reflections on their accomplishments! Check out some of our favorites.
Self-Care Is Important
“I’m sipping my coffee, thinking about what I’ve accomplished. Grateful for what I have accomplished. Aiming to move forward.”
It’s not always easy to achieve your goals. Taking care of your well-being requires hard work and inner strength. As soon as you reach a major milestone or finish a particularly challenging task, relax. Take time to celebrate success with self-care: a cup of coffee, a moment to reflect. You’ll feel energized to tackle new tasks.
Don’t Forget To Spend Time With Family And Friends
“Observing my children with admiration is one of my greatest pleasures. It amazes me at how strong they are. They are the ones who allow me to see any success I have.”
By turning our “shoulds” into “musts,” we are able to reconnect our goals to our ultimate purpose. Family is often that purpose. A fulfilling life requires love and connection, so when we want to celebrate accomplishments, we often look to those closest to us. The positive impact of our success on our loved ones motivates us to keep on going.
Express Your Gratitude
“I want to share it with the ones who made it possible.”
Success has never come to anyone without help. Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk themselves have been guided by mentors. Include your supporters in your celebration of success. Take them out to dinner. Show your appreciation with small gifts. Let them know how much they mean to you. Giving is the key to living, even as you celebrate your own accomplishments.
Be Creative
“I’m working on my own touchdown victory dance after seeing all the great touchdown celebrations on red zone football.”
Victory dances have a purpose: moving the body in new ways can boost confidence and give us energy. Get up and dance the next time you achieve a goal. Put on your power pose. Practice yoga or go for a walk. Embrace your happiness to celebrate your success and lift your mood.
Put Gratitude in Practice
“With gratitude and energy for the future, I take a deep, purposeful breath.”
When you’ve achieved something big, it’s especially important to practice gratitude. Breathe deeply and allow yourself to feel relieved, excited, or happy. Next, set your intentions for what you want to accomplish. Your focus will shift simultaneously from celebrating success to setting new goals.
Act Spontaneously
“The person I care about is with me when I celebrate. The moment just comes to us – there is no plan, we just go and experience it.”
You probably have a lot of goals and plans if you are an achiever. If you set your mind to something, you accomplish it. Keep in mind that variety is one of the six human needs. Boredom can develop when our lives are planned out. Be completely spontaneous and do something out of your comfort zone when you celebrate success.
Use Success To Fuel Yourself
“I use my success to fuel my drive to take steps towards my next goal.”
We learn from our failures, but our successes fuel us for the long haul. Celebrate all accomplishments regardless of their size. Even if you haven’t yet reached your ultimate goal, keep track of your progress so you can see how far you’ve come. This will help you stay positive, which is the key to your continued success.
