One pattern I see in clients is the cycle of planning and crossing off the to-do’s leading right to another to-do list. Rarely do I experience people who allow themselves to celebrate what they’ve done.  Celebrating is allowed to take a bit longer than the time it takes to physically cross the item off of your list. Enjoy your accomplishments, pat yourself on the back and say “Go me!”

The  cycle should look like this:

• Plan goal
• Take action toward goal
• Achieve goal
• Celebrate achievement

What usually happens is the last stage of the cycle gets omitted in our zeal.  We usually go from achieving our goal to planning a new one.

I loved the celebratory style of these soccer players. They obviously planned ahead to have a wildly wonderful event happen– which would require something so well choreographed from them.  Simple lesson, plan for huge success before and celebrate after.

All the best!
