第162期:学会庆祝小小的胜利

 　　Learn To Celebrate The Small Victories

　　Do you reward yourself for your accomplishments¹? It is important that we take the time to celebrate even our small victories.

　　It's time to take a step back and realize that instead of focusing on all that we're not getting done, we should be focusing on all that we are getting done. I call this the Celebrate the Small Victories approach. The intent is to give a little love to yourself for all of the hard work you put into each day. This will make for a much happier existence, boost your self-esteem by placing focus on the positive and likely make you even more productive and energetic as time goes on. You can't lose!

　　By marking these successes, we make them stick out in our minds. It forces us to acknowledge our progress and increases the likelihood we'll repeat the positive behavior in the future.

　　Did you have a good day at work today? Did you finish a noteworthy project or deliver a good presentation? Did you close a sale?

　　For stay-at-home moms, did you survive another day with a toddler? Did the kids get to school on time? Did you finish a household chore?

　　Whatever your goals, be sure to recognize your victories. So, go ahead and treat yourself for all your victories, even the small ones!

　　学会庆祝小胜利

　　你为自己的成就而奖赏自己吗？我们花时间庆祝，即使我们的小胜利，是非常重要的。

　　现在是时候回过头想想了，我们应该专注于我们所做的一切，而不是专注于所有我们没有完成的事情。我称之为“庆祝小胜利的方法”。你该为你每天投入的辛勤工作，给自己一点爱。这会让你的生活更加快乐，通过把注意力放在积极的方面，随着时间的推移，可以提升你的自信心，你可能会变得更加高效，更有活力。你不可能失败！

　　通过标记这些成功，我们使他们持续在我们的脑海。这会让我们承认我们的进步，并增加我们将来重复积极行为的可能性。

　　你今天工作愉快吗？你完成了一个重要的项目或做了一场不错的报告？你成交了吗？

　　对于呆在家里的妈妈，和孩子一起又度过了一天之后是否幸存下来？孩子们按时上学了吗？你做完家务了吗？

　　无论你的目标是什么，一定要认清自己的胜利。所以，为你所有的胜利犒劳一下自己吧，即使是小小的胜利！
