Nice work here. I like your “how to” tips on celebration. As you know I offer the reason “why” we need to celebrate more in this post

Jon, I particularly like this “You don’t have to choose between self-improvement and self-acceptance.” I’d like to read a whole post on this topic. I’m betting it would help many.

Great and useful ideas — thanks! I particularly like the one about having a “done” list of successes. I find “to-do” lists just drag me down.

Something I’ve tried, which has encouraged me, is keeping a “What was better about today” list — this helps focus on areas of growth in your life.

Identifying yourself with your values instead of your current situations is a great way to look at things. There will always be a conflict between trying to change things and accepting the way things are (both of which are important), but it’s worth remembering that who you are is defined by where you’re going as much as where you are.

Each step along the way should be recognized too. It may not take you very far but if you have the right direction all you need is time. Even “overnight success” builds on things that took years to develop, so it’s never out of reach!
