CHEERS!
In this Issue Today's Point: Why Celebrate? What's Next?: Reminder: Open House for Coaching Hudson Valley (tomorrow) 2/28/10 Last Point: Find out who Zero is!
Why Celebrate?Seems like a silly question, "Because it’s fun!" but, there's more to it. Celebrating or acknowledging (mini-celebrations) help to lock in the learning, build confidence and create momentum.It's been a year since I began this newsletter, 12 issues! If writing comes easily to you, it may not seem like a big deal but, for me it’s an accomplishment worthy of celebrating. Writing and I have a difficult history. Mostly, we get along now, even enjoy each others company here and there. Oh yes, there is still the occasional suspicious glance or irritated exchange but nothing as severe as it used to be. It was horrid. It took me two extra semesters in graduate school to finish a 132 page thesis because writing and I fought so much. Cheers to another milestone in changing my prickly story with writing to a more positive one! What are you or could you be celebrating? How will you celebrate? Consider treating yourself in some way that acknowledges your efforts and accomplishments; a special dinner, a toast, a massage, or even a cup of tea with a friend. It’s the intent more than the specific activity that is important. Intend to celebrate and do something to embody that intent. Sometimes, we can be so quick to berate ourselves (or others) when we mess up. Try replacing berates with celebrates. Next time you catch yourself grumbling at yourself or another, even if there is a legitimate concern that needs addressing, remember the importance of re-enforcing the positives and find cause to acknowledge or celebrate along with your reprimand.
