How to attract Love by Celebrating You!

Have a little nod yes! to yourself if you feel like you have celebrated YOU enough in this life…If you haven't, like me perhaps it’s time we get out the streamers and balloons and start celebrating ourselves!  

Do you know that celebrating you and being the authentic you that you’re meant to be, is one of the best gifts that you can give the world?

I heard a story on the radio today about how an Australian man was celebrating his sister Mollie O’Callaghan winning Gold in the Olympics swimming competition. It’s so totally gorgeous how much he loves his sister and wants to celebrate her. He also acknowledged that a win for her was a win for their parents who had put in the hard yards of taking her to the swimming pool morning and night for years.

I love this story so much because it shares with us the power of celebrating someone’s wins and also how celebrating one person means we’re also celebrating all the people, experiences and aspects that went into making them them! Go Molly! And, Go all of us!  

Let’s consider how we can bring some of the energy from the story into our own lives and point that celebratory smile back towards ourselves.

How celebrating You helps you Attract Love

Celebrating you will most definitely help you attract the love that you want, too! This is because when we honour and celebrate ourselves it does these three very important things:

1. It helps us feel happy and fulfilled, not relying anyone or anything to fill our cup. This is attractive because mostly no one wants to be responsible for anyone else’s joy or happiness. Yes, we want to add to someone’s joy just by existing, and have them add to our own, but the pressure of being the main source of joy for someone is simply not useful. When that pressure is not clouding everything, we can simply revel in the happiness and love that spilleth over with each other.

2. When you are good at celebrating you, honouring you in all kinds of ways, you are also good at doing that for others. This makes for a positive, flowing partnership. Us humans are way more tuned in than we give ourselves and others credit for - potential partners can feel this capacity in a person. Everyone, well I can’t speak for everyone, but I would hazard a guess that most people, want to be honoured and celebrated.

3. Conscious, regular celebration takes us out of our mundane reality enough to flip us into gratitude and reverence. Life on auto pilot is not fun for us, nor does it inspire others to want to get to know us more. So let’s shake it up and celebrate!! Yay!!

July is my birthday month, so this month inspired me think about how I want to honour myself and especially how I wanted to do that on my birthday. I ended up spending time with the ocean, with a couple of friends, and with family.

Webster’s dictionary describes celebration as honouring a special event like a birthday, or wedding and so on. I love that – honouring. Birthdays are the perfect reminder to love and honour ourselves. But let’s take on the invitation I am extending for us to do it more often, even daily!

So many business mentors I respect talk about celebrating the little wins. Sending out this blog – that will be a win! Sending some Love Attraction Coaching client notes to connect, and to lift both of our days is a win! Getting my kids onto the school bus with lunches in their bags and smiles on their faces is also a win! (Trust me, many days just stopping them from beginning a two-person ferocious battle is a win!)

You might be asking why celebrating and honouring you is important. It’s about allowing ourselves to feel joy. When we observe children play, animals moving around in nature, or simply a gorgeous view, we feel that joy as it’s a celebration of life itself! The energy of that joyful moment lifts us and permeates our being. This in turn spreads to everyone we meet – and some of the people you meet are potential partners! Yay for being turned on with the joy of life when we meet people!

How to step into Celebration of YOU (and this will help you attract the partner and relationship you want)!

1. Choose your Why and your What

What do you want to celebrate and why? I’m currently setting up some daily celebrations, and welcoming some intuitive, spontaneous ones. I shall celebrate when I complete 30 mins in my garden or 30 mins movement like yoga, cycling or dance.

I have been a bit of a human doing, rather than a human being, but I am currently acknowledging that when I plan and track these life-affirming actions, it makes me feel amazing and that’s worth celebrating!

I also acknowledge that I want to step more into simply celebrating myself for being me, so I am choosing to celebrate me by calling friends over at the last minute, or heading to the beach for some solo celebration time when it calls me.

What will work for you? Choose what aspect of yourself you want to celebrate and how you will do it!

2. Choose your Time

Choose a time each week or each day that is when you will honour and celebrate You! You can add to that a one off or yearly celebration such as your birthday. You may add ‘when inspiration comes’ to your timing. I have added ‘Personal Celebration’ as a monthly recurring event on my calendar to remind me to tune into what I want to do celebrate me. This is on top of the daily ones I have put in place.  

 
What gets scheduled gets done, so get it in that diary!

3. Choose your How

How will you celebrate you? Do you want to celebrate alone, or with friends? If you do it with friends who will you reach out to? Who is fun, loving and supportive in all the right ways to help you feel celebrated? When you meet up, what will you do together?

If alone how will you celebrate? I want to try dancing to one track of music as my daily celebrations after movement, getting some of my work done, or gardening and see how that goes. I have proven that it feels amazing, because as I write this blog I stopped to dance for 1 whole track of spiritualish affirmations. (To celebrate that this blog is almost ready to send you!)

Does this little idea of mine spark an idea for you?     

There are so, so many ways to celebrate but what remains the same is the love, the honouring and revelling in the joy of it. As Mary Anne Radmacher once said, “Celebration has many different outfits, but she always wears the same beautiful dancing shoes.”

4. Do it!

Implementation is everything, baby! When the reminder pops up, when you see it in your calendar and also when you feel the impulse, get the party started! Implement, do it – even if you don’t feel like it and watch how your energy shifts.
