Mindful Meditation to Help You Celebrate Wins
Celebrating our wins can feel unnatural—whether we just got that hard-earned promotion, threw together a successful event, or managed to get out of bed and go to work (yes, it’s like that sometimes). After all,our brains are hardwired to focus on the negatives.
Sure, we might give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, but how often do weactuallybask in the moment and think to ourselves, “Wow, I really did that!” Take a moment to think about how we show up for our best friends and try to give ourselves that same praise and recognition.
Advocating for yourself can release “happy chemicals” in your brain, which can connect the activity we’re celebrating to the goodness we feel when we do so. As a bonus, it makes us more likely to repeat that behavior—and we’reallfor a simplemotivation hack. Try this meditation to help you get into the practice of tooting your own horn.
