8 small victories you should celebrate everyday8 small victories you should celebrate everydaySometimes, it feels like the only accomplishments worth celebrating are the big ones. And sure, celebrations for engagements,promotions, andmilestone birthdaysare great, but its rare that you see anyone declaring victory because of day-to-day progress. We want to change that. Life is hard, and we all deserve to be congratulated when we make improvements to our routine or achieve some momentum with our big-picture goals. In case you need a reminder, keep scrolling to read more about eight small victories that you should celebrate. No baby step is too insignificant1. Youre communicating more effectively with your loved onesFor some, this might look like checking in with your parents more consistently. For others, this is all about being a better listener when they get a call from a friend in need. You know better than anyone what needs to happen in order for you and your nearest and dearest to communicate better, and you deserve a pat on the back for every baby step that improves your relationships.2. Youre developing a better morning routineMornings were once chaotic, but now you consistently wake up to your alarm and go through a reliable series of steps before you head to the office. Whether your morning routine involves exercise, meditation, a healthy breakfast, a few minutes of reading, or even just a slightly less rushed makeup routine, its a win.3. Youre learning to say no when you need toNo one wants to be the friend who never shows up for weekend activities or birthday parties, but its also perfectly okay to politely decline an invitation when you know you need some down time. Just because you can attend doesnt mean that you need to, especially if your mental health is demanding a break. As you get more comfortable with the word no, youll be able to enjoy things that much more when you say yes4. Youre taking control of your to-do listsMaybe you need a new system for organizing your tasks, or maybe you just need to do a better job of staying focused on your daily to-dos. If youre making any kind of progress with that pesky list, we call it a victory.5. Youre spending more time away from your phoneYouve heard it from everyone from your mom to the wellness experts quoted in articles Stepping away from screens is good for your health all around. Were notlage saying you need to completely quit scrolling, but we are suggesting that you start paying closer attention to when you lean too heavily on your phone.

Youre making time to learn new thingsIts easy to get stuck in a rut where you arent giving yourself the freedom to be curious, so if find yourself falling down a research rabbit hole or asking questions about a unique subject, you should feel good about it.7. Youre cutting back on clutterHave you noticed the piles of paper on your kitchen counter getting smaller? Is the surface of your desk slightly less messy than it was a month ago? Draw some inspiration from Marie Kondo and continue tidying up your spaces.8.
