Celebrate Good Times, Come on!
I've recently realized that I've been celebrating life but doing it all inappropriately. With all the hustle of life, the coming & going, the taking care of our responsibilities & etc. sometimes we forget to stop & give ourselves a pat on the back. And sometimes even a simple pat on the back might not be good enough.
I am currently participating in a 30 day fierce, fearless and phenomenal life challenge with Life Coach Frantonia Pollins and one of our recent tasks was to jot down approximately 5-6 things we have accomplished in the last 5 years. Next to the accomplishments we were asked to state how we celebrated those accomplishments. So ok I've got this, it'll be a piece of cake. In the passed 5 years, I've published my 1st book, I've gotten the job I wanted to manifest, I've purchased my 1st car (all of the others were gifted to me...I was a spoiled little sister in my former life), I've earned my Masters degree in Business & I've ended an unhealthy relationship. Alright!! Now for the celebration section...1, 2, 3 go!!! I've got nothing. But wait a minute, something must be wrong! I'm an optimist, I'm a free spirit, life is a grand blessing to me. You mean to tell me I just allowed my accomplishments to pass me by without any kind of celebratory activities? That's exactly what I did. This realization hit my chest with might and tears began to fill my eyes. I've been celebrating life but I've neglected to specifically celebrate my own life. All my life, it has been my nature to just move onto the next task without even recognizing what obstacles I've conquered and celebrating myself for my progress.
So now that I know this, now what? Now that I've realized that I've been treating myself like a red headed step child (no offense to any red headed step children in the listening audience) what do I do? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. As we speak I am treating myself to a breakfast for a champion at Starbucks : ) And after this, I'm going to go get a pedicure and possibly a massage. This afternoon, I'll go to a movie and watch not just 1 but maybe 2 movies. You've guessed it, I'm theatre hopping and later I'll join my rainbow coalition buddies for the Las Vegas PRIDE Parade and a night of good ole Sin City sin! This might not sound like a lot to some but its more than what I've done for myself in a long while and I'm excited about it! And this is just the beginning of me not just celebrating life but even more specifically celebrating MY LIFE!
Never forget about you! Life is not always smoove sailing, all of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths and we have climbed some pretty steep hills to get where we are. Recognize your accomplishments and celebrate yourself!! If no one else gives you kudos for what you've accomplished thus far, forget them give yourself a high five and treat yourself to some good ole Starbucks lol.
Until next time, Tiffany Michellè
