This Week We Celebrate

“Celebrate any progress. Don’t wait to get perfect.”

-Ann McGee Cooper

There seems to be an epidemic of perfectionism out there among women.  I keep meeting bright, successful, amazing women and all their focus is on the stuff they haven’t got done, all the things they’re behind on, all the mistakes they’ve made.  When you bring up their successes, they brush you off.

So I am declaring that this week is one of celebration.  Where each of us celebrates what we accomplish, what we get done.  No matter how small, no matter that you only got one part of a project done.  The truth is that the ‘to do’ list will still be waiting after you’re dead and gone.   So celebrate your victories this week, no matter how small.  Give yourself a pat on the back, say thank you when you get a compliment, smile at yourself, be a champion to yourself.  Treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you use for others.  Life isn’t about being perfect and getting everything done.   It’s about enjoying yourself and recognizing your accomplishments.
