Celebrating the wins in your life, even the little wins, is more important than you may think.  And no, I am not suggesting you throw a victory party for every little win.  What I am suggesting is to take a hard look at what you focus on. Are you focused only on the 1 thing you messed up on today? Or are you focused on the 7 things you did well?

We all have a mixture of good and bad things happening in our daily life.  Admittedly, there are days when it feels like the scale is tipped more heavily in one direction than the other.  In fact most people respond to this thought exercise stating there is more bad in their life than good.  However,  studies show we tend to focus more on the bad than the good due to a leftover survival instinct that kept us safe from sabertooth cats, cave bears and other dangers.  So it may not be that there is more bad than good, it is just how we look at the world around us.

So what can you do?  You can start celebrating  your wins - The good things.  Acknowledge them. Write them down. Thank yourself fo all you have done, etc, etc.  By establishing this habit you create a shift in perspective.  It doesn't mean the bad stuff just disappears, nor does it mean you just ignore the bad stuff.  It does mean you shift your focus and perspective to allow you to appreciate and celebrate the good stuff more often.
