I was having my hair cut recently and asked my hairdresser how she would celebrate Christmas.  She said she didn’t need a special occasion to celebrate. She’ll be getting a bottle of wine out at the weekend anyway.

I absolutely approve of that attitude. Why do we always need to wait for a “Special Occasion” to celebrate? How do you feel when you celebrate? You feel great, happy, euphoric, up, buzzing. Why would you want to wait to feel like that? Wouldn’t it be great to feel like that every day?

So I recommend that you celebrate every day. At the end of the day work out what went well. It doesn’t need to be anything major, even just getting through the day can be an achievement. Once you’ve done that work out what the celebration will be.  Maybe its just allowing yourself an extra ten minutes in bed tomorrow, or eating that extra special yogurt you’ve been saving, or phoning a friend you’ve not spoken to for ages.

The more you celebrate the more positive you’ll become, the more positive you are the more success you’ll attract and the more you’ll have to celebrate. It’s a virtuous circle.

What are today’s achievements? What did people thank you for?  What should you give yourself a pat on the back for?  What are you celebrating today?
