Send us a text What happens when we don’t celebrate? We lose motivation. We increase our likelihood for stress and burnout because we don’t ever see progress. We develop a perfectionist mindset and cultivate the neural pathways that say, “It’s not good enough, you’re not good enough, nothing is good enough.” We start doubting ourselves. Ultimately, we start ignoring God’s graces. We stop pausing to recognize all of the little ways, all of the tiny miracles that had to occur for us to be where we...
