The Power of Celebrating Success: How Acknowledging Wins Boosts Productivity and Well-Being<\/h1>\n

Picture this\u2026You set lofty goals for the year and, one by one, you are accomplishing them like no one\u2019s business! Big wins are happening left and right. Your internal \u201chappy dance\u201d is in salsa mode and you feel like everything is falling into place. But you\u2019re moving so quickly that \u201ccelebrating\u201d is simply setting the next goal. So, you take a step back to reflect. You look around at your larger team and realize no one is celebrating with you. You wonder\u2026Does anyone notice? Does anyone care? Does this even matter?\u00a0<\/em>Let’s celebrate those wins!<\/p>\n

Can you relate? This was literally my story just a few years ago. I was swimming in wins\u2026but I was also drowning in a work addiction<\/a>. I never took the time to stop, reflect and intentionally<\/i>\u00a0celebrate the accomplishments that were earned from hard work and tenacity. The people around me couldn\u2019t have cared less about me accomplishing my goals. It was just business as usual.<\/p>\n

When we don\u2019t take the time to honor our accomplishments\u2013it\u2019s almost as if they didn\u2019t matter in the first place. As leaders in the workplace, it\u2019s our responsibility to celebrate the successes of those around us.<\/a><\/p>\n

A recent\u00a0Inc. Magazine article<\/a> noted that \u201ccelebrating our accomplishments is critical to our success.\u201d They made three BIG points to support this argument:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. The Act of Celebrating Changes Your Physiology And Strengthens Your\u00a0<\/b>Psychology.<\/strong>\u00a0When you celebrate, endorphins are released inside your body and you feel incredible. When you accomplish something and don\u2019t take the time to celebrate, you are robbing yourself of an important feeling that reinforces your success.<\/li>\n
  2. Celebrating Strengthens Your\u00a0Relationships.\u00a0<\/b>Your own celebration is contagious and those around you want to share in your success. As accomplishments are properly recounted, new ideas and opportunities are formed and shared.<\/li>\n
  3. Your Celebrations Attract More Success.\u00a0<\/b>Success begets more success, so it\u2019s only natural to build upon existing momentum, especially during events of celebration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Knowing these facts, I conducted an informal poll amongst my LinkedIn network<\/a>. I asked, \u201cHow do you celebrate when you accomplish a goal?\u201d I received 95 responses, which are outlined in the chart below. Not surprisingly, the majority of folks celebrated with food and drinks. But right next to that, people said they \u201cset another goal.” In my mind, that means they\u2019re rewarding themselves with more work\u2013not actually celebrating what was accomplished. Am I wrong?<\/p>\n

    \"let'sIf I add that percentage up to the people who said they did nothing, that makes 19% of people do nothing to celebrate their success. Now, I know this is an unscientific small sample, but I have to believe there\u2019s truth behind these numbers.<\/p>\n

    We simply don\u2019t celebrate enough.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    So, let’s celebrate the next time you or someone in your life has a big or little win! A toast over a glass of wine or even sparkling water can go a very long way in connecting us to our purpose and feeling good in life. The little things are the big things!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
