017 - Celebrate

Welcome to 1 Minute Tips! If I asked you to give me the name of the biggest critic in your life. Right off the bat, who would you nominate? If you didn’t nominate yourself, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. We are the toughest critics we’ll ever face in life. Even when we deserve a break. This is definitely something we can (and should) control. Learning to accept our faults is really important. But this is a topic for another episode. In this episode I just want to point out the importance of celebrating all your victories. This isn’t about popping a bottle of champagne or going wild every time you accomplish something (or if this is you, by all means, go for it). What’s important, in my opinion, is to reward yourself whenever you reach a goal. This way you are creating important triggers. By doing this long enough, whenever you have a new challenge or goal, your brain will automatically trigger the memories of when you celebrated in the past. Giving you a magic boost towards your new goals. Give it a try, start celebrating. I’m Rod Gomes and I’ll come back with another 1 minute tip soon. Take care, stay active, stay positive!
