How do you celebrate a small (or big) achievement?

Yesterday, I completed a task that I’ve been dreading for months. I didn’t wait until the very last minute either.

This deserves some celebration. I don’t drink, so I can’t make a toast.

Besides drinking, how do you celebrate getting a small (or big) task completed?

I can’t say that I ever celebrate anything, and I don’t think I actually understand the concept completely. I feel just as pleased with myself as anybody else on achieving something, but it would never occur to me to enact any kind of ritual to mark the event. I don’t quite get it, I’m a bit odd when it comes to that sort of thing.

I give myself a round of applause

When you feel pleased with yourself, do you tell it to yourself? For how long?

I think I’m the opposite of you. When I accomplish something, I have to remind myself to be pleased with myself because otherwise, I’m off to the next thing. That’s the reason for the celebration, I think.

That’s a great idea. That’s worth a try.

It’s hard to say, I can’t think what goes through my head at such times. I suspect I wear a smug grin sometimes, even when there is no one there to see it. :003:
