The focus of this month is rest and restore and last week we have talked about how it is unsustainable to always be hustling, and how we can cultivate rest using some practical and easy ways.
So now we're going to talk about another mode of rest and how we can incorporate it into our lives!
One of the most underrated forms of rest is celebration. Not only does it motivate (thus, restore) you, but it also gives you the needed assurance when you feel you're not doing enough or you feel guilty for taking a break.
Practicing celebrations is also a way to grow your business. So be consistent with celebrating your wins!
Celebrating wins is like building a staircase. Look at the small wins you have on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and start noticing them. Here are some practical steps you can do to cultivate this habit:
Remind yourself of your wins. You could do this by printing out the compliments/accolades/wins you receive and put them somewhere visible to you. Or you could have a 'win calendar' where you can mark when there's something that progressed in your business or personal life.
Now this may seem tedious, but it's worth it. Because months would pass and you would feel that nothing is improving, but when you look at your win calendar, you would see the progress that you are making.
Celebrate the wins of others. When you are a network marketer, the successes of each of your team member is your success too. Because that means you're making an impact. But if you struggle with negative comparison, try to see the wins of others as an inspiration. If they can do it, then you can too!
It's also important to build up that circle that would celebrate with you and would encourage you to keep going. When you are authentic and true to yourself, the right people will come to you. And you can celebrate this too.
Train your brain to celebrate the hard things that you do and that you're not doing them because you "should."
Celebrate the small wins. Celebrating doesn't have to be a huge moment. It can be as small as appreciating your environments, making your bed in the morning, bonding with your family with no phones, creating new friends, etc. As long as you…
Figure out your own version of success. In this way, you will be able to appreciate your wins more and actually feel fulfilled in them. What does success looks like to you?
and nothing seems to be going in your favor, take a pause and point out what is going well now. What is something you can control now? Is it sending a few messages to your group members? Is it doing a few household chores? You can take on those small tasks during rock bottom times and celebrate that. But better if you just take a rest!
So as you finish this blog, I want you to make a list. List 15 things in this moment that you are celebrating for yourself. Get specific. And then list another 15 things that you want to celebrate by the end of this month. Set an intention and follow through.
Write down your wins and share it with me!
