The Miraculous Power of Celebration
From now on, I have decided to celebrate life and all its beauty more and to appreciate my accomplishments and efforts more. Celebrating is the best way to appreciate the results we achieve, opening the door to achieving even more. Of course, making an effort is inevitable. However, celebrating has a tremendous effect, activating a miraculous aspect of life. There is really no need for extravagant things; even a minute or two, looking at something with gratitude and expressing sincere appreciation for what has happened can be enough. Of course, we can set aside special times to celebrate our major goals. But the underlying logic will always remain the same: Be grateful, appreciate, and give thanks!
Celebrating primarily allows us to feel better about ourselves and then enables us to add even more to our lives. Celebrating and appreciating not only ourselves but also all of life and those around us contribute to this. It’s a wonderful message to the universe. By strengthening the consciousness of abundance, we increase the value of what exists in our lives and attract even more of the good and beautiful to ourselves.
So how can we create a culture and habit of celebration? Where and how can we start this? I wanted to share the basic steps that we can turn into a habit in ourselves in this process.
Firstly, it would be great to start the day with a short celebration ritual. This will raise our energy and nourish our abundance consciousness throughout the day. As soon as you wake up, start celebrating, starting with yourself, and take a short time to appreciate everything around you. Start celebrating all the beauty in your life one by one. Do not just think about it, express it in words, express it in writing or drawing. Also, try to remember at least three beautiful things you have been grateful for throughout the day just before going to bed at night.
The second method may take some time. Try to imagine having what you want and don’t yet have, as if you have reached it. Imagine that moment in your eyes as if you had achieved it. Imagine that moment in detail and with feeling. This will make it both easier and more enjoyable for you to turn it into reality. You can do this visualization work more when you have difficulty achieving your goal or when you have motivational problems. But for now, doing it once a day will be enough for a start.
Third, prepare a celebration plan for the projects you are about to finish and be sure to implement it. How will you celebrate and in what way? Will you go on vacation or organize a small celebration with your friends? This will also motivate you a lot about the result you want to achieve.
The fourth is to try to be celebratory and appreciative, starting with yourself and then spreading it to all the people around you, being sincere and natural. If you already have such a structure, just continue with it. However, we mostly forget or postpone saying such expressions. We even withhold it more than ourselves.
Finally, you may consider creating a gratitude list. Those on this list are the things you are grateful for and appreciate for their existence. I will recommend you to create at least a hundred items on this list, and try to add at least one new thing to it every day. And do not forget to keep this list up to date. Also, do not forget to hang it in a place where you can see it.
