Be grateful and celebrate successes…
It is December again and many of us are very much looking forward to a well - deserved Christmas break. While it feels that we still have a ton of things to do before it finally comes round, we are also starting to get excited at this point. Christmas once it becomes a bit quieter, is primarily a time to reflect and be grateful for everything good we have experienced this year. While a lot of us are very good in being anxious and worried throughout the year, Christmas is really a time where we should be proud of great thing we did or achieved this year, be grateful and celebrate our successes. When should we do this if not at Christmas?
Take some time over Christmas or even if you can in the run up to it to really look at the year you had. I am sure a lot of things did not work out and maybe there was not much to celebrate due to person hardship, but I am sure there also still were a few moments of light. Maybe there is a lot you feel you can be proud of and maybe there is a lot that you think you should be grateful for. Look at yourself and at what you have achieved and take a moment out of the hectic life to be proud and celebrate yourself and loved ones. You are awesome for all these wonderful moments of light you have created in the past year, don’t take them for granted.
Christmas very often feel like if just flies by and the best part of it is the time we look forward to it - just like for children. This is why it is so important to make the time to reflect on our achievements and really celebrate. It will boost our self - confidence for maybe challenging times ahead and build up resilience in ourselves. Tines change and our surrounding change every day - which is why it is even more important to celebrate and reflect on the good moments.
Times can be hard, but it is important that on Christmas we try not to think about too many disasters that might come our way in the future. Literally, be merry, be proud and celebrate your successes however small, it will do you good to even cope with potentially daker times ahead.
