Celebrate Your Badass Self

How many times do we never stop to celebrate US?

Well. It’s time to celebrate!

I'm here today to talk to you about celebrating you. I recently was in a challenge. And one of the assignments we had the very first day was to make a list of our top 10 or 10 badass moments in our lives.

And when I got to writing, it was hard for me to stop and I have 54 years to look back on. And I started writing all of what I would consider badass moments in my life. But as I started writing down badass moments in my life, I found that I had far more than 10. And I kept going and going and going. And it became so fun to make this list of celebrating me, looking back in my life of all these things that I have accomplished. And it was fun to after I got done writing, I went back and I started reading through them. And this is what I realized this was my aha moment.

I had never stopped to celebrate any of them. I had just blasted through them, did an accomplishment, accomplish something and then went on to the next thing and then go on to the next thing go on to the next thing, without ever taking time to acknowledge the fact that I had had this amazing achievement. And we do that, we do that especially women do that. We don't take the time to celebrate us. And it doesn't have to be this huge thing like you won the Nobel Peace Prize, or you got named president of the United States. You do amazing things in your life.

One of the things that I wrote down on there was I gave birth four times in four years. Let me tell you, that's a major achievement. I never took the time to celebrate that I never took the time, the time to celebrate earning an MBA, I never took the time to celebrate any of the Toastmasters things that I the speaking contest that I won along the way. I never celebrated any of them. There were so many things on that list I never celebrated.

And so my challenge to you today is to do that, take a piece of paper and start listing out at least 10 badass moments in your life at least 10 and then keep going. Because it's going to be hard for you to stop. This is what happens when you open the floodgates of badass moments in your life.

You keep going.

Maybe it's standing up to someone, maybe you know, that was one of mine was standing up to someone that I worked with standing up to him and saying, we're done. You're never treating me like that again. There are so many moments in our lives that we - I hate the word should- But we should be celebrating ourselves. We need to celebrate ourselves. It is preferable let's say it that way. It is preferable preferable for us to celebrate who we are. But we don't take the time to celebrate who we are and what we've done. Jess just holds me accountable. Hey, Jess, by the way, just hold me accountable. Hey, how come you're not celebrating this? Let's have a party. Let's celebrate this. Well listen, I'm passing it on to you.

Take the time to celebrate you.

Because you're freaking amazing. And you need to take the time to celebrate all the cool things you've done in your life. Maybe Maybe it's I cleaned out my closet today or I donated I donated all these clothes that I no longer wear. I donated them to a women's shelter. women that are trying to to come out have a hard time and they need clothes to go on a job interview. That's amazing. Celebrate everything. Celebrate you, you are worth it. So I want to hear what you are doing to celebrate you today. Today. When you hear this video, put in the messages underneath. This is what I'm celebrating and this is how I'm celebrating me because I am a badass. You are a badass now go out and celebrate you.

Love you. Bye
