Why Not Appreciate Little Accomplishments

Why do we celebrate big milestones and achievements and inturn forget about our little wins? lThese little wins are the small steps that we take towards our bigger accomplishments. aking a brief moment to celebrate the little accomplishment- may not seem extraordinary but small things matter too.

I recall that in school I used to dread Math as a subject and it was my biggest fear to sit through a math class. I used to get anxious about solving a sum or taking a math exam. One day my teacher called on me to solve a sum in front of the class and I was terrified. With trembling feet I went and solved it, and solved it correctly. I was overjoyed to the core and that led to a whole day of celebrating my little accomplishment . As minute as an achievement it sounds, for me it was a day of being courageous. . The amount of happiness this brief achievement gave me made me realize that it is significantly important to acknowledge these little achievements. .

Small wins make you feel confident and keep you motivated towards the bigger goals. It acts as a positive feedback which indicates that you are going on the right track. Small victories means celebrating your positive habits. If you don’t celebrate your small victories you are simply rushing from one task to another which inturn makes you susceptible to exhaustion and demotivation. aHere are some ways through which we can celebrate our small wins:
