We celebrate a lot of things like birthdays and holidays, but how often do you take the time to celebrate your accomplishments?
If you are like many- not enough. It is importance to look at all of the positive aspects as you work on your health and fitness. Here are the top 3 reasons why celebrating your success should be apart of your health and fitness experience.
1. Celebrating Can Boost Your Confidence
Recognizing your small victories reminds you that you can succeed! It is easier for you to believe in yourself when you have the evidence that you have succeeded before. Each victory that you celebrate is proof that you are capable of success and have what it takes to continue to be successful!
2. Celebrating Fuels Your Continued Success
As you make celebrating your health and fitness achievements a habit, the better you position yourself as a winner. Build on your successes. This is turn will help you to overcome self-limiting beliefs. When you face challenges, (and you will), your continuous belief in your success will pull you forward toward victory. Celebrating develops a mindset of success.
3. Celebrating Boosts Your Mood
Did you know that dopamine is released in the brain when you celebrate? Dopamine, also known as the "feel-good" hormone, contributes to feelings of:
alertness
focus
motivation
happiness
If you start reflecting on your progress so far, you will find wins all over the place. Not all of your progress should be measured by a scale.
Here are a few examples of fitness victories that deserve to be celebrated!
