If you dismiss it and brush it off, you are sending mixed signals and your body may not feel like going the extra mile next time. So are some tips on integrating this feeling into your body and mind:</div><br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div>1) Tell someone about your accomplisments, even write it down on your journal! How does this feel? </div><br /><div></div><div>2) Acknowledge your achievement and bathe in those feelings of having it completed, feel satisfied, happy, joyful. Reflect on this for a while for your feelings to sink in.</div><br /><div></div><div>3) Look at your budget and treat yourself. Dinner out, a glass of champagne, a new item/clothes/shoes. Out to the movies, a holiday. Or even a night in with music and a bubble bath whatever you can afford, to anchor in this wonderful achievement!</div><br /><div></div><div>4) This success builds success so you will be motivated for your next goal as you now have a history of being there and doing it!</div><br /><div></div><div>5) Building on good habits sets a good example to others: children, work colleagues, parents etc, gives them permission to do the same!</div><br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Celebration is infectious, so remember to share your positive experience!</div>Paolahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07040319458736951374noreply@blogger.com
