Whenever we have a big goal or dream sometimes we can get so focused on making it to the end, that we forget to enjoy the journey. We start celebrating the big wins and forget to celebrate the small wins. But those small wins, they matter more than the big ones. We need to start celebrating small wins more often.

Think about a time you were working towards a goal. Maybe your goal was about working out to lose X amount of pounds. Instead of celebrating every pound lost or every muscle gained you felt disappointed that it wasn’t the number you wanted.

What you could have celebrated: 1. Going to the gym consistently and building healthy habits. 2. Losing x amount of pounds – getting closer to your goal. 3. Building muscles and upping your weights. These three things are worthy to celebrate along your goal crushing journey.

Celebrating Helps You Feel More Motivated

When we celebrate along the way we are able to see the progress we’ve made. When we see how far we’ve come it motivates us to keep going even further.
