049 | Celebrating Our Accomplishments

I’m going to brag about myself a little and I hope you will too. ⁣

⁣I’m about 85% finished with a big project that I’ll share with you soon. I am so proud of myself because I installed the whole closet system myself—including the tracks that are mounted to the wall that support the whole thing. ⁣

⁣In the past, I would have asked someone else that I perceived to have more knowledge or experience to do that part because I wouldn’t want to do it wrong. This time, I made friends with my ladder, level, pencil and drill. I even made friends with my fear of getting it wrong. ⁣

⁣Did I make some mistakes along the way? Of course. Did I learn from them? For sure. Did I gain a bunch of confidence in myself and what’s possible? Absolutely. That’s what I’m celebrating today.⁣

⁣Any time we create space for a new narrative about ourselves (or others) or celebrate ways we are growing, we are cultivating sanctuary. We are making space for our own flourishing which gives us capacity to create space for others to flourish.⁣

⁣Now, back to you. Let’s celebrate together.⁣

What is something you have learned or done that has boosted your confidence or made you feel proud of yourself?
