How Will You Celebrate? (And what will you celebrate?!)
Life is a journey. We have a final destination and lots of big and little milestones along the way.
Unless we don't.
It is possible to just drift through life... Drifting is like living in rote, doing the same things over and over without taking notice - without celebrating milestones, planning for new memories, or moving toward valued goals.
Sometimes I personally miss celebrating and just move on to the next goal without stopping to acknowledge what just happened! How sad. I'm embarrassed to say that living in the moment is often hard for me, even when I am with family I am envisioning how long it will be till we get to be together again.
Good coaching includes planning for celebration!
First, we need to choose a worthy goal like:
- Completing that project
- Making that appointment
- Planning a gathering
- Working a new habit in
- Focusing on a character goal (yes, even those can be coached!)
Then we work the system and adjust as needed. (See the demystifying SMART goals blog for more on this.)
This part usually takes a while as getting somewhere usually does, but let's not forget that last bit on the Coaching ROAD - Dedication. Maintaining the gain starts with CELEBRATING that you got there!
How do you celebrate?
What are you looking forward to celebrating?
