What happens when we don’t celebrate?
We lose motivation.
We increase our likelihood for stress and burnout because we don’t ever see progress.
We develop a perfectionist mindset and cultivate the neural pathways that say, “It’s not good enough, you’re not good enough, nothing is good enough.”
We start doubting ourselves.
Ultimately, we start ignoring God’s graces. We stop pausing to recognize all of the little ways, all of the tiny miracles that had to occur for us to be where we are.
In this episode of Persistence in Prayer, host, Kylie Hein is going to remind you of all of the reasons why celebrating victories both big and small, is 100% necessary! She breaks down why this is important based on your temperament, and as always, includes ways that this is going to move you further along the spiritual path as you make progress in prayer.
This quick self-development episode is great for high-achieving Catholic women who are quick to move from one thing to the next, and tend to forget that they are not human doings, but human beings.
