Always Believe That Something Wonderful Is About To Happen: Celebrating Good Times*

*This is a collaborative post*

In life, many of our days are very much the same. We stick to a routine which allows us to manage our time well and get done everything that needs to be done in the best possible way. However every now and again something exciting will happen which gives us a cause for celebration, and when these moments happen it’s well worth completely embracing them. It’s these special moments that memories are made of, which help to define us and are what we look back on when remembering different periods of our lives. Maybe you’ve got a promotion, passed your driving test or sailed through your exams? Perhaps you’ve just found out you’re expecting a baby, you’ve gotten engaged or have achieved a weight loss goal? Whether it’s something you’ve been working towards or a wonderful surprise, here are some of the ways you can celebrate your success!

Create new goals

If you’ve smashed a goal you had set, or something exciting has happened that has made your current goals obsolete then it’s time to make some new ones! Work out where you are now, and where you want to be. It can help to write things down, a good way to go about it is to think of it in terms of where you want to be in one year, three years then five years. Break down your one year goals into smaller ones which will help you to achieve them.

Thank those who helped

If other people have helped or contributed towards your success or happiness, be sure to thank them. Give credit where credit is due, and be humble- acknowledge those that have helped along the way. You could tell them this in person or write it down for them. Either way, it’s always good to show your appreciation.

Throw a party

When something good happens in life, it’s great to mark the occasion with a celebration. A party allows your loved ones to enjoy your success with you, and again it can be a way to thank those who have helped you. You could check out Oddbins range of vintage champagne, there’s plenty at different price points so you can toast in style even if you don’t have a huge budget. Take lots of photos to mark the occasion and really enjoy it, it’s these moments that make life special.

Rest and relax

Whether you’ve achieved a goal that you’ve been working at for a long time, or it’s something wonderful that’s taken you by surprise, chances are you’ll be feeling a little wiped out. Give yourself time to rest and relax, gather your thoughts before deciding on your next move. You could go on a holiday or mini break, book in a day at the spa or just pamper yourself at home. Either way, if you feel like you need a bit of relaxation time then don’t be afraid to take it!

Have you had any good news lately, or have you achieved a goal you had set? How did you/ will you celebrate?
