One of the things I preach to my clients is to CELEBRATE every small step on the path toward their goal. Those steps add up to a journey of transformation, and deserve to be thought about as the BIG deal they are! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying to reduce your weight, and managed to pass up the candy aisle that was your usual haunt at the grocery store? GO you! That is an incredible accomplishment! Celebrate it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to increase your physical activity, and you parked farther from the door than usual so you\u2019d get more steps – That\u2019s AWESOME! Other people TALK about wanting to make changes, but there you are taking action to make it happen! Celebrate moving in the direction of your goals!! Woo hoo!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Celebrations can be anything as big or small as you desire. Whatever is fun for you that you do to intentionally celebrate moving forward and honor your amazing accomplishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Treat yourself to a soothing bath, a pedicure, or an extra 5 minutes in bed in the morning. Take yourself out to the movies. Go for a walk! Whatever feels like a treat to you to honor the accomplishment is perfect. One of my fave celebrations is to put on some music I love, turn it up loud, and dance wildly for 3-5 minutes! It\u2019s an exuberant, joy-filled celebration that imprints into the cells of my body, and also honors my intentions to move more, and add more joy to my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why celebrate?\t<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
One reason it\u2019s important to celebrate our successful steps, no matter how small, is because they are literally the foundation that supports the transformation we desire. They are what we build on to create the health, wealth, relationships, or career we want. Another reason is because when people do not make a habit of celebrating small successes, they might forget to celebrate the big ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most important reason to celebrate your successes along the path to your goal is to say to the universal Law of Attraction, \u201cYes please! Bring me more of this!\u201d Energy attracts like energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
All that having been said, I am taking my own advice.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
I have some BIG news and I want to celebrate!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I received an email from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. I am thrilled, overjoyed, and delighted to announce that I am now an iPEC Certified Professional Coach!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
I have successfully completed 90 hours of classroom training, over 50 hours of peer coaching, and more than 150 hours of required classes, seminars, assignments and electives. I have earned my ELI-MP certificate, and my CPC certificate from one of the top coaching schools in the world, the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I opened my coaching practice in November and got my first paying client in December. Seven months later I have seven clients, every one of whom found enough value in their first round of coaching sessions to invest in more coaching sessions. That validation is a celebration in and of itself! My clients inspire me daily to do everything I can to continue growing as a coach, and as a human being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now I have completed my training and am fully certified! <\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
If I\u2019m going to be honest here, part of me didn\u2019t believe I could do it at first. It seemed like SUCH a big goal<\/strong>. But the most amazing journey unfolded when I simply focused on what I wanted, instead of what might hold me back. The entire Universe stepped in to dance with me and open doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is my passion, and my life’s purpose to help others discover the infinite possibilities within themselves, and to empower them to achieve whatever they desire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there is more I want to accomplish, but I won\u2019t focus on what\u2019s next until I take the time to really savor this incredibly amazing achievement! I went for it! And I accomplished it despite my self-doubts, and a pretty good dose of fear from those gremlin voices telling me that everyone in my coaching class was smarter and more capable than I was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now those voices work for ME, and tell me that I am a natural coach, doing a great job, and that my clients appreciate me, and value what I offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Go me. Seriously. I feel like a rockstar!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I feel amazing, successful, empowered, and unstoppable! That is the gift of coaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I plan to celebrate this major goal and life transformation in a really BIG way, by relaxing and enjoying eight FREE nights in Hawaii next month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Like seriously, GO me! Woot!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
