Jean Felix M.’s Post

I’m good at many things, but 🎉 celebrating my achievements is not one of them. Like many strivers, as soon as I reach a milestone, I move the goalposts. I just get on with the next thing. I tell myself I’m just hardwired for stretching, pushing, trying. 🎯 Celebrating is not frivolous. It has many benefits, not the least of which is to simply feel good. 👏 I know this; as a #coach I often ask my clients how they’re going to celebrate their success—long before the work is done. This year, I want to celebrate more. And I have a lot of reasons to celebrate! Instead of resolving to get more done, I want to: 👉 Hear people when they say ‘congratulations,’ ‘well done,’ or even just ‘thank you.’ Hear their joy, their gratitude. Hear them saying, ‘you are enough.’ 👉 Celebrate with others. Rarely are my accomplishments solo acts. By thanking the people who have helped me along the way, it’s easier to pat myself on the back too. 👉 Reflect on what the celebration means. Why did I set this goal in the first place? What did it feel like back then, when success wasn’t a given? How did it feel when I visualized success? Can I recapture that anticipation, that excitement? 👉 Find new ways to celebrate. I love any excuse to order take-out from my favourite restaurant, but I need to expand my repertoire. I’m taking suggestions! 😄 Finally: I want to let myself be happy. Not the kind of foreboding happy, where I instantly think of what could go wrong, what I could have done better, or what still has to be done. Just. Happy. ❓ How about you? How and what are you going to celebrate this year?

Feel weird about celebrating successes? Worried you'll be called selfish, "big-headed", or perhaps even questioning that the things we celebrate aren't worth celebrating... Well let me stop you right there. ✋🏽 I want you to know that you've got this. Who cares what they think, right?! And, let's be real, there is NO such thing as "not worth celebrating". 🙅🏽♀️ Success comes in all shapes and sizes, and it's time to embrace and celebrate every single one of your victories, no matter how small they may seem. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ So whether it's check off that one thing from your to-do list, tackling your household chores, or simply show up as your amazing self every day, it's all worth celebrating! 🎉✨ Remember, celebrating yourself isn't selfish... it's an act of self-love and empowerment! 💪🏾💛 By recognising and appreciating your accomplishments, you build confidence, grounding, and a strong foundation for the future of your dreams. What are you celebrating right now? Share your victories in the comments below and let's uplift and inspire each other on this journey! 🌟💃⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ #celebratingyourself #celebratewins #progressiprogress #successmindset

For high-achievers, celebrating a win can sometimes feel hollow—like it’s just a waste of time when you could be moving on to the next challenge. But celebrating doesn’t have to mean popping champagne. Celebrating is anything you do that makes your achievements mean something. Here are 3 ways to "celebrate" that feel meaningful and beneficial: 1. Reflect in the Moment Write down or share with someone why this accomplishment, big or small, is important. Why you're proud of yourself. And what skills or learnings you can now take from it to use in the future. This process will build your confidence, help you believe in your own agency in your life, and build excitement for what else is possible. 2. Catalog Your Wins With each win, record it somewhere to revisit on tough days. They'll remind you of your resilience, growth, and ability to overcome challenges so you can keep moving forward. 3. Plan a Small Reward Before starting a project, think of how you'll celebrate its completion. Creating a reward in this way isn't always needed for us high-achievers. But sometimes we need it for tasks we really don't like or have been putting off for a while. When we create a reward, the celebration has meaning because it's what helped us get to our goal. Once we get to that celebration, we can mentally let go of whatever was weighing on us and enjoy our earned success. Let's all celebrate ourselves more, and give each other some ideas to do it! Share in the comments below how you celebrate yourself👇🎉

There is a misunderstanding around celebrating ourselves which so often creates blocks. We have been told, taught and experience celebrating through external actions only: buying ourselves a treat, having a special day, going to a spa or whatever it is to acknowledge our own achievements. And this is wonderful, but often it doesn’t actually connect the thing we are doing for ourselves with the thing we have achieved, so we never meaningfully connect to the achievement. And if we don’t meaningfully connect, then we forget what we are capable of. Which means the next time we experience fear or self-doubt, we don’t have the bank of evidence at our fingertips to change that narrative. Which is crucial to building confidence, self-acceptance and success. Here are three things to try: 1️⃣ A regular moment to reflect Each week, acknowledge your wins and hold space to do this, so it becomes a habit. This rewires the brain to get used to looking at achievements. 2️⃣ Write them down You will process the celebration differently. Ask yourself: How can I celebrate myself today? What am I acknowledging about myself? What am I grateful for? What am I proud about? What have I created this week? 3️⃣ Have one working document which you add to Write it all down on one document which builds, so that all the celebrations and acknowledgements are in one place and you can easily and literally see the list of who you are being and what you are achieving growing in front of you. Then go open the champagne 🍾 #MindsetMatters #PerspectiveShift #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth

💡 Why don’t we celebrate our successes more? Does this sound familiar? When you make a mistake, you overanalyze it a hundred times, but when something goes well, you just shrug it off and rush to the next task? 🙃 No matter how big or small a success is, it’s important to pause, celebrate, and truly take in the moment. I’m not just talking about the big wins, but the smaller ones too. Celebrating is not a luxury; it’s an opportunity to: ✅ reinforce our confidence: to remind ourselves that we are capable and progressing, ✅learn from the journey that brought us to the success, ✅pause and feel gratitude for ourselves and those who supported us along the way. Does this resonate with you? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 👇

This is so important. Fear breeds a scarcity mindset, whereas faith breeds an abundant mindset. So many of you inspire me here on this very platform 🙌 to be a better version of myself daily and the connections we can make together are really endless. #networking #inspiration #helpers #teamwork #faithoverfear #authenticleadership #succes #growthmindset #freedomgrantedllc

Have you ever wished to be celebrated most especially for that thing you achieved ? well that's amazing and lovely, but the real question is do you celebrate yourself at all or you just waiting to get that cheers from the audience........ Celebrating yourself and achievements( either big or small) first, should be your priority instead of waiting for others to do that for you. Don't just wait until you get that big win before you congratulate yourself, it might be small but yet it's worth celebrating. Let me tell you something start identifying those little wins and growth you've achieved it's worth celebrating 💃 Don't demagnify them and feel you've not attained something worth celebrating. The year is gradually coming to an end what were those things you tried so hard to do last year but you couldn't, fortunately you did them this year that's an achievement💯 ✅ reflects on your improvements it's worth celebrating . ✅ reflect on your growth both mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually it's worth celebrating . One advantage this does is that it makes you see and helps you put more efforts Don't expect others to celebrate you if you don't do that to your self. PS: what wins have you attained that's worth celebrating but you neglected them because you felt they were small and not important.... #makesureyoucelebrateyourwins

How do you celebrate your achievements? No matter how big or small, you need to get into the habit of treating yourself and celebrating your wins. Why? The answer is simple: because you’re worth it. You are enough, you are worthy of celebration, you are deserving of accolades, and you have earned the right to be proud of what you have achieved. So, treat yourself to something nice: a nap, an ice cream date, a massage, a new book… the sky’s the limit! Celebrating your wins boosts your confidence and feelings of fulfillment, making it easier when times are tight to pull on your reserves of positivity and perseverance. If you’d like help learning how to make treating yourself and celebrating your achievements a norm in your life, send me a message 🤗

When you love who you work with… Every day feels more fulfilling Every task seems more manageable And every goal appears more achievable. It’s not just about having fun, it’s about celebrating together. Celebrations bind us, reminding us that our efforts have meaning beyond the bottom line. They reinforce our connections and energize us to push forward, together. So, take a moment to look around at your team. These are the people who battle alongside you in the trenches, who share in your struggles, and who cheer on your victories. And remember, celebrating doesn’t require a fancy gala or big party. Small acknowledgments can have a big impact. A spontaneous lunch, a team shout-out in a meeting, or a simple thank-you note can uplift spirits and strengthen bonds. Do what works for you, but most importantly, remember: Celebrate every win, big or small.

[ Don't Wait for the Ceremony ] Today marks the last day of January, and I want to take a moment to thank you, my beautiful readers, for showing up and supporting me. I have loved seeing you engage with my posts every morning, and I deeply appreciate each one of you. As I write this, I cannot help but reflect on how often we tend to reserve celebrations for the big moments, those significant milestones that take time and effort to achieve. But what about the smaller victories along the way? They are just as important, if not more, because they keep us motivated and give us the recognition we all need. Don't wait for the ceremony, celebrate now. Recognition is not just a nice bonus; it is actually a psychological and fundamental need, according to Self Determination Theory (SDT) by Deci and Ryan. This theory explains that humans thrive when three core needs are met: 1. Autonomy: The feeling that we have control over our choices and actions. 2. Competence: The sense that we are capable and making meaningful progress. 3. Relatedness: Feeling connected to and valued by others. When we celebrate small wins, we fulfill these needs in powerful ways. Acknowledging our progress reinforces competence by showing us we are capable of achieving our goals. Sharing these wins with others fosters relatedness, strengthening our sense of connection and support. Together, these build intrinsic motivation, making us more likely to continue working toward our long term goals. For example, writing a post every single day has been a challenge for me, a small win on my journey toward a larger goal. Knowing that you are here, reading and supporting me, gives me the energy to keep going. You are a part of what fuels me, and for that, I am incredibly grateful. So, what is your big goal? And more importantly, have you celebrated your small wins along the way? Could you set a day to acknowledge and celebrate your progress? Maybe you can celebrate by buying yourself a little gift, going out with friends or family to a restaurant you like, or treating yourself in a way that feels meaningful. It does not have to be grand, just a moment to remind yourself how far you have come. Discover more insights and stories at www.ccwithin.com.
