Hooray for small victories

Do not wait until a large goal is completed before celebrating.  Those small tasks help us toward victory just as much as the big ones.  A leaf unfurled from a bud does not wait for the whole tree to come alive, it reaches proudly for the sun.  The ant who carrries a small load is celebrated as much as the one carrying five times its weight.  When you rise in the morning, congratulate yourself for getting out of bed, for brushing your teeth and choosing clothes to wear. These are key steps to beginning your busy day.  Celebrate the lunch you will have, celebrate each small task with a large check mark and maybe a sticker just for fun.

How do you celebrate small tasks?

    1. Singing? In front of others? You are one brave soul. I bet that has some serious healing power my friend.

  2. I celebrate small tasks by rewarding myself with a small treat, like ice cream or cookies!!
