Thursday Thoughts: Celebrate
As we close out this work week on a Thursday, we’re taking some time to think about all the many ways and reasons to celebrate. All accomplishments are worth acknowledging, no matter how small they feel! And no one’s contribution in your life is too small. Keep in mind that everyone in your workplace community has contributed to your professional successes. The positive thoughts we’ve curated for you today will help you remember to do all of the above:
- “There is so much in my life to celebrate!”
- “Today is a good day and I choose to remember this moment to moment.”
- “I am thankful and celebratory of all those that have graced me with their presence. Not just today–but for each and every day that lies ahead.”
Stay in the present by living moment to moment rather than getting stuck in the past. Leave behind what hasn’t served you and celebrate what has worked! And make sure you’re including your supporters in your celebrations–and celebrating their successes as well. Together you can build a better workplace and beyond. Have a great long weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday for our newest set of Mood Boosters!
