This week I want to talk to you about why it's always important to try to celebrate a celebration, whenever you can, because these moments are what makes your life truly special.

It's so very important to always try to consciously celebrate a celebration whenever you can. Whether it's a birthday, anniversary, or any other special or significant event in your life, these moments should always be cherished and enjoyed in your life.

Celebrations usually bring people together joyously and then help them to create lasting memories. They also give us a reason to pause and appreciate all the good things that we have in life.

No matter how big or small the occasion, taking time to acknowledge and celebrate it will always bring happiness to both yourself and those around you. Celebrating is also a chance to show appreciation, love and gratitude to the people and moments that make your life worth living.

Here are some examples.

- A birthday party thrown by family or friends shows appreciation and love for the birthday person and makes them feel special on their special day.

- A family gathering together to celebrate a holiday, where loved ones share a meal and create lasting memories. ​ - A retirement celebration for someone who is moving on to the next chapter of their life after years of dedication and hard work where they have been.

But celebrations should create meaningful and positive experiences, not make people conform to societal expectations. For some, celebrations are overwhelming, or stressful. Respect those who prefer more low-key or private ways of marking special occasions. Forcing someone to celebrate when they would prefer not, detracts from the event.

So, this week, remember the next time something you can celebrate comes around, don't let it pass without making some time to mark it. Whether a small gathering, a special meal, or a heartfelt toast, take the time to mark the occasion and make it memorable - here's to celebrating celebrations!
