I did the dishes.
(I know. Try to contain your excitement.)
I had been avoiding them ALL morning.
And then after lunch, as I was about to set my dish on top of the pile, I thought to myself: What if I just did these right now?
Six minutes later the dishwasher was emptied, refilled, and the sink was cleaned out.
After I did these dishes, I could’ve shamed myself for waiting all morning, but instead I just felt really proud of myself.
Which I know sounds ridiculous. It’s dishes.
But if you’ve spent most of your life not celebrating yourself for anything (or actively tearing yourself down after you do something right) you know that celebrating yourself for small things is kind of a big deal.
So one day, see what happens if you celebrate yourself as much as humanly possible.
Seriously, like make it a game → how much can I find to celebrate today?
