Celebrating Your Decision

Most people make decisions and then sit back and wait to see what happens. It is far better to joyfully and fully embrace your decision. By putting positive, rather than neutral (or worse negative), energy around a decision you generate momentum. Think about decisions that generate this kind of energy- saying yes to a new job, getting engaged, planning a family. All these carry a lot of positive energy that help you stay focused on the goal. They also tend to involve lots of people who help to carry that energy forward. So how can you create this kind of energy for decisions that you are making

Creating positive energy around a decision

Pick at least two things from this list to help you celebrate a decision you have made.

• Go out to dinner with friends to talk about your plans
• Post an announcement on a social media site you use- Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
• Journal about how you are feeling and what you hope to accomplish
• Post a statement or a quote reminding you of the decision somewhere where you will see it every day. Screensavers, fridges, electronic calendars can all be great places to post.
• Form a group of likeminded people who are implementing their decisions so you can build off their energy.
• Create a blog to share your progress
• Buy or find a bracelet or rubber band that will represent the decision you have made. Wear it at least three times a week to remind yourself of the positive change you are making.
