Celebrating

Here we are again, at that time in the year when we are surrounded by the possibility to celebrate.  How will you spend your energy in the next few weeks? Whatever you invest in, enjoy it and take it all in., but don’t forget about you.  This year, we want to encourage you to add a special celebration.  Make a moment and celebrate yourself and your accomplishments from the past year.  Consider any of the following areas when contemplating what to celebrate:

Winter - What did you do to thrive? 

Did you try a new sport?  Did you get a great coat or hat that made you almost comfortable in the cold?  What new recipes did you try?  How did you connect with others?  How did you challenge yourself?

Spring - How did you enjoy the spring months? 

Did you take on new responsibilities? Volunteer for something you have passion for?  What type of movement, exercise or rest did you practice? Did you try something new? How did you manage stress, change and or adversity?

Summer - Was this a summer to remember?

Did you enjoy yourself?  What types of adventures did you take?  How often did you indulge in seasonal offerings? How did you spend time with friends and family? What moment stands out?

Fall - When did you feel fall had arrived?

How did you get organized?  Did you get outside more? What seasonal vegetables and fruits did you try?  Was being mindful a part of you or an afterthought? Did you stretch your comfort zone?


The questions are easy to ask, it’s the answers that might be difficult.  We encourage you to not put limits or expectations on what you should have done, but rather focus on what you have tried, done or become – it and you are worth celebrating!
