Today I celebrate my first blog post. I celebrate my husband for his work and research on creating this blog for me. I am just celebrating my life on all levels. Each day we should celebrate our life. The benefits are tremendous! We spend too much time nitpicking at our imperfections, stressing and worrying over what might happen, and not acknowledging all that is good in our lives.
Right this moment acknowledge ten things that are good in your life. Go ahead and make that list. I’ll wait…
When you align in the energy of celebration, you tell your cells to perk up and to support physical, emotional, and mental health that supports your celebration. Your bring more energy into your body to support the life that creates more reasons and opportunity to celebrate. You body aligns in the energy of celebration and your get up and go wakes up to take you forward.
Take your list and write ten times “I celebrate” and then add each of your items on your list to those statements.
You may think what juice is this woman drinking, I want some of that! I am not on any pick me up drugs or alcohol. I am just living in a state of consciousness that is choosing to celebrate life. I am creating a conscious space that sees what is right, what inspires joy, what makes my steps lighter and my heart sing loudly. I engage in life from this mind and heart space. I am energized and trust life. I move forward in a state of celebration and gratitude.
It is not like I do not see the stress, anxiety, injustice, discontentment, and horrors in the world. I deal with my own inner battles and I do see what is going on in the world. I just chose to engage the world in my celebration consciousness. Yes, I do have to work with those things that cross my path that I do not want to celebrate like the Ravens losing the playoff game, another grey hair, a higher than usual credit card bill from the holidays, and the menopausal flashes that challenge my emotional loveliness. And I do work through them. However, I do not allow the energy of those issues to pull me out of my celebration attitude for long. Matter of fact, the celebration state of mind gives me the energy that I need to work through the issues so I can return to the dance and use the celebration energy to support my work and play. I can also look at these concerns differently and celebrate how well the Ravens did this year, celebrate my hair no matter what color it is, celebrate and enjoy the fact that I was able to give to others over the holiday and will pay off the credit card sooner or later, and celebrate the moods that flow with menopause to tell me when I need to sit still and reflect. The last one was stretching it a bit…
No matter how challenged or stressed you are, there is something there to celebrate. Dig deep. Make your list. Align in the celebration. I leave you with these affirmations to work with at least three times a day.
I celebrate me.
I celebrate life.
Today I choose happiness and focus on what brings me joy.
I celebrate my ability to make choices that align me in this energy.
I celebrate my life!

In celebration of life!
