S6E06 - The (under-used) Art of Celebrating Yourself

If we exclude your birthday, when was the last time you celebrated you?

When was the last time you threw a party, or bought a gift, for a non-birthday related milestone?

Most of us celebrate the ‘big’ milestones-birthdays, marriages, anniversaries. Perhaps even we ceremonialize first bleed, matriescence or divorces. But generally speaking, the personal milestones are treated as invisible markers as busy life passes by.

When we celebrate ourselves (or better yet, allow others to celebrate us) we are SEEN in ways that shake our cells into the NOW. Shedding skins to further become who we truly are.

Yet celebrating yourself can feel a little self-centered.

I often have feelings of guilt or ‘showing off’ that shadow my deep, human yearning to be SEEN.

So in today’s podcast, we’re exploring:

• The under-used art of self celebration
• Why self-celebration is an important part of an embodiment practice
• What I’ve been celebrating
• 4 of my favorite ways to celebrate
• What to do with the ‘show off’ feelings when they arise
• What aspect of you wants to be seen & celebrated?

Self-celebration is a very necessary requirement for adults.

I wish we would all do it MORE.
