You Are A Winner!   CELEBRATE YOUR WINS. You Are Rocking This World The Right Way.

3/8/2014

You are a winner. 

Yes, YOU. 

You, with the gentle heart, the big dream, the burning desire to create and lead.


You are brave and vulnerable, you learn and grow every day and yet you still cannot see it.

YOU are a winner.

You tend to underestimate your wins. Try to sweep them under the rug, dismiss them as unimportant or insignificant. 

Stop Doing That.

Breathe in your victories, breathe out your mistakes. positive quote take ten coaching

Time to Celebrate Your Wins.

As a personal coach and business mentor to brilliant women, from around the world, I have come to understand that the greatest obstacle, heart-driven women place between themselves and happiness is their tendency to not celebrate their wins. Well, not enough, anyway. 

And I am not talking about epic wins, like winning a gold metal in the olympics or writing a best selling book that will change the landscape of modern literature, in a heartbeat.

No, I’m talking about your “I cooked a delicious, healthy dinner for my family” kind of wins. 

The wins you so easily dismiss, every day.

The “small" wins, that hold your life together.

Breathe in your victories, breathe out your mistakes.[tweet this]

I’ve said it in the past and I will say it again. This day, this moment, this IS your life. Don’t stand in your way. Stop holding yourself back. Breathe in your victories, breathe out your mistakes.

During the next week, try to flex your winner muscles, using this super easy, extra fun exercise, I use with all my clients.

Every day, for the following 7 days, play Detective!

Look for small wins throughout your day. You made it to work on time (Hooray! Another Win!), you cooked a delicious meal for your family (Whee! Another Win for you!), you found the perfect parking spot (Woo-Hoo, Another Win, you are on fire!). 

Think of it as being your own cheerleader, for a change and every time something goes well for you – a green light, a good piece of luck, something going ‘right’ … smile and shout to yourself out loud (or inside your head) “Another win!” 


You will be amazed at how many good things happen to you everyday that go completely unnoticed. 

Consciously celebrating your wins will give your brain a hit of dopamine like no other and you will feel a great surge of energy going through you and as Karl Weick says "Once a small win has been accomplished, forces are set in motion that favor another small win.”
So, whether you know it or not, you are a winner. You are a leader of your life or business. You are a game changer. The world is different because you are in it, contributing your 5 cents. The people around you would never be the same if you were to somehow disappear from their lives. You matter. You are immensely powerful and you are meant to be happy. 

Don't wait. Go celebrate one of your wins today and don’t forget to leave your comment below to let me know how it went!

Believe in yourself. Celebrate your wins. 

Make Today Count.

I agree so often we are focused on a large goal that we forget to celebrate the small wins along the way. I am sure if we take the time to reflect ant the end of each day we will find something that has been a win.

I agree with you so much Ingrid, sometimes it takes ten minutes at the end of the day to kind of "train" your brain to look for the good in every day!

Thank you Caitlin, it's something I try to remind myself everyday and i just had to share it here. Celebrating my wins, doing my "crazy dance" after every small victory has changed my life in so many ways!

Thanks for this awesome reminder. I totally got through this day after not sleeping well last night and I'm calling that a "win". This post was great "believe in yourself. celebrate your wins." I don't think I'll ever need to stop hearing that.

Nicole, thanks so much for this reminder to celebrate the wins! And to as you say, flex our muscles. My very favorite paragraph is this one: "Look for small wins throughout your day. You made it to work on time (Hooray! Another Win!), you cooked a delicious meal for your family (Whee! Another Win for you!), you found the perfect parking spot (Woo-Hoo, Another Win, you are on fire!)." Thanks for making it light and fun - I'm totally flexing right now!!

Flex away Carla!
So many great things are happening to us everyday and they go unnoticed, I say it's time to change that.
One win at a time,
xoxo
