When you reach a certain goal or achieve something in your life that you were working towards, do you celebrate the accomplishment?  It is important to realize when an achievement takes place to honor the achievement by allowing time for yourself to feel proud of what you have accomplished.  We are so busy with work, children, school and other commitments that celebrating an achievement or goal can sometimes get away from us.  As important as it is to set goals and strive to get past the benchmarks associated with them, you also have to give yourself the time to relish the accomplishment.  If you had supportive friends or family that were part of your achievement, make sure they too are part of your celebration too.  Acknowledging an accomplishment allows one to see how far they have come, especially when you think about the days that you thought you were going to give up.  Be proud of your achievements and before you move on to your next goal, give yourself time to fully embrace what it took to get you here.
