Add One Thing to Your Life: Celebration!
Choose one thing to celebrate about yourself: your health, your positive attitude in doing this practice, your willingness to try new things. It doesn’t matter what you are celebrating, only that you are celebrating yourself. You can celebrate the same thing every day, or find different things.
CELEBRATING keeps our focus on the positive and attracts more for us to celebrate. Focusing on lack attracts more lack. You might be surprised how much you have to celebrate about yourself. Take this energy of celebration and keep it with you, always. Make celebrating a habit that becomes infused into every day. This simple tweak can transform your life.
However big or small the occasion, look for excuses to be in a state of celebration. You can celebrate failures too. They open doorways for something new to come in. Your positive attitude will make sure you attract more positivity and goodness.
