A lot of us look at celebration as if it’s superfluous, unnecessary, or a luxury we can’t afford.
But, what even is a celebration anyway?
Growing up, it was often some form of food, often sweet. Not the healthiest option.
Google/Oxford defines celebration as “the action of marking one's pleasure at an important event or occasion by engaging in enjoyable, typically social, activity.” (Don’t love this.)
To me, celebration is an acknowledgement of our progress and a proclamation of our hope.
And the thing is, if we don’t acknowledge or really anchor ourselves to our progress then we’re creating an uphill road to maintain the progress. Our minds are programmed to stay the same, to seek the familiar, to maintain the status quo, not take risks, not be uncomfortable.
So when we overcome this inertia, we should be PROUD!
Celebrations cement our progress and add momentum to the positive experiences we’re lucky enough to have.
The TRUTH is: we can’t afford NOT to celebrate.
The truth is: every day is a freaking miracle and we need to act like it.
And the more we incorporate these truths into our lives, into our choices, into our plans, the easier it is for us to be happy. It becomes our second nature.
When you’re going about your day with the visceral knowledge that you’re taking part in a very special thing - existence on Earth - you just don’t take silly things seriously anymore. You’re tuned into the beauty, the truth. That’s your emotional home base now. Wouldn’t that be nice?
You deserve that. You deserve to elevate your experience as much as possible. And it’s infinitely possible.
We only have one precious life (at least in these bodies, lol) and celebration helps elevate our experience, allowing us to show that we honor the privilege of being alive!
