Celebration!
By Lauren Hasson
Celebrating a celebration increases your joy! What?!? Taking time to remember how great an experience you had, reliving it in your mind, and taking time to celebrate what you’ve just accomplished is a great way to elevate your mood even more.
This year we learned that dopamine is released when you celebrate after accomplishing a goal. Taking time to stop before you jump into the next project or assignment and really enjoy it with your friends, family, sharing greatest parts of the event will literally increase your happy transmitters, enhancing the experience even more. Serotonin is released as you mentally relive that great moment, as your brain can’t differentiate between a vivid memory or the present. It’s enjoying it all over again!
I release the gift to take time to care for yourself in this beautiful way. “Wow God, we did it! I loved this. I can’t believe when I got to .......!” Celebrate yourself. Celebrate your accomplishments. Celebrate your team. Celebrate the courage it took to try something new. Celebrate hard fought victories. Celebrate your beauty. Celebrate your friendships. This gift to ourselves will increase every aspect of our well being.
So much to celebrate.....

Yahweh, you are my soul’s celebration. How could I ever forget the miracles of kindness you’ve done for me?
Psalm 103:2
God said to me once and for all,
“All the strength and power you need flows from me!”
And again I heard it clearly said,
12 “All the love you need is found in me!”
And it’s true that you repay people for what they do.
Psalm 62: 11,12
