Now, more than ever, I want you to celebrate your life. How often do you Celebrate Your Life? These past few years have been tough, and many of us have overcome challenges we never thought possible. But we’ve made it through, and now it’s time to celebrate!

Let’s go over some ways to celebrate yourself and your life.

Take Care of Yourself

One meaningful way to celebrate your life is to take care of yourself. This means making time to
do things that make you happy and listening to your body. We often put everyone else’s needs before our own, but it’s important to remember that we can’t take care of others if we don’t take care of ourselves first. So, make sure to schedule some “me time” every week, even if it’s just an hour or two. Why? Because it’s important to Celebrate Your Life!

Do Something Fun

Another great way to celebrate your life is to do something fun! You can do anything from going
on a road trip to taking a dance class. Just make sure it’s something that you enjoy, and that
makes you happy. Sometimes, we get caught up in our habits and forget to have fun. But life is meant to be enjoyed, so include some fun activities and mix up your weekly routine.

Celebrate Your Accomplishments

Don’t forget to celebrate your accomplishments! This can mean commemorating a promotion at
work to finishing a marathon. Whatever it is, take the time to pat yourself on the back and
celebrate your hard work. We often focus on our failures rather than our successes, but it’s important to remember all the amazing things we’ve accomplished. So, take time every week to reflect on your achievements and give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.

Reach Out to Others

You can do this by doing anything from volunteering your time to simply sending a handwritten
letter to a friend. Just make sure you’re doing something to make someone else’s life better. It’s essential to remember that we’re not alone in this world. There are a lot of people who need our help, so make sure to reach out and lend a hand when you can.

Make Great Memories

You must make take the time to make great memories. You can do this by taking a trip to your
favorite city or spending time with your family and friends. Just do something that you’ll
remember for years to come. Sometimes, what is happening in the present makes us forget to create memories for the future. But it’s important to remember that we only have one life to live, so take advantage of every opportunity to create great memories.

Do Things That Make You Happy

Above all else, make sure to do things that make you happy. This includes anything from
reading your favorite book to taking a long walk in the park. Just make sure you’re doing
something that brings joy into your life. We must ensure that we don’t overlook what it means to be joyful. Fulfillment and happiness are the most important things in life, so include some activities in your weekly routine that make you happy. This can be anything from having a spa day to taking a class that challenges you. The imperative thing is that you do something to make YOU happy.

Visit Those Who Matter

If you have time, this can include visiting anyone from your best friend to your grandparents. To
feel fulfilled, you must take the time to connect with the people who mean the most to you.
We often get busy and forget to visit the people who matter most to us. But it’s important to
remember that our loved ones have a great influence on our lives. So, make sure to arrange
some time each week to visit the people who matter most.

Start a Journal

Another great way to celebrate your life is to start a journal. This can be anything from a daily
diary to a weekly blog. During stressful times, we tend to take our lives for granted and forget to appreciate all the fantastic things that happen to us daily. But if we take the time to journal our lives, we can remember all the great things that make us who we are. So, make sure to start a journal and
document your life today! In it, you can document your accomplishments, happy moments, and goals for the future.

Praying

Praying does not require us to be bowed down on our knees, laying prostrate, or with our hands lifted. We can pray and the person next to us does not have an inkling of an idea that we’re praying. While you may think the person sitting next to you in a meeting is disengaged, he/she may be praying. Whether standing at a bus station, boarding an airplane, or getting on an elevator, someone is praying. No matter what environment we are in, silence allows us time to pray and seek God for peace, forgiveness, discernment, comfort, healing, direction, and a myriad of other reasons. The environment can be loud and boisterous or quiet and calm. A person sitting in silence may be using the moment to talk to the One who knows all and is all.

Hannah prayed in silence. She wasn’t concerned about what others said about her. Hannah knew that she needed to be in silence and pray to the Father. Eli assumed that she had been drinking when it was the total opposite because she was sober in mind and knew that God was the one who could answer her prayer.

Think it Through

Silence is necessary when after we’ve prayed, we need to think things through regarding a decision that needs to be made. It allows time to determine the best path to take, who needs to be involved, and what resources & support are needed. When we think things through, we can also identify positive and negative outcomes. We can project our potential wins and losses.

Self-Reflection

Just as we think things through, we often take time to reflect. Self-reflection is necessary for personal growth and requires silence. I can’t imagine anyone who does not take the time for self-reflection. We all experience moments of being on the mountain top and in the lows of the valley. Whether we are on the mountain top or in the valley, it is important for us to find a quiet environment to assess, meditate on and evaluate what we have done, gone through, and how we see ourselves. I encourage you to use this time to journal your thoughts and identify what went well and what needs to change. This allows us to make the necessary adjustments for improvements.

Observing

Hopefully, you are an observer who sits in silence and watches the behavior, character, and communication of others. I like to do this when I’m in a new setting—work environment, networking event, group vacations, and any time that I am going to be around a group of people for specific amounts of time. One of my reasons for doing this is to determine who in the group is the “chatterbox” #gossiper. This is the person I am aware of not to share personal conversations. When we observe, we can determine who the complainer is and not get entangled in their negativity. Another reason is to identify the person who is at a higher level than you and can increase your knowledge. This is the individual I want to connect and collaborate with because Iron Sharpens Iron (Proverbs 27:17).

Control

On the negative aspect, silence can be used as a form of control in a relationship. Giving someone the silent treatment is a form of emotional abuse. Not addressing the issue instead of talking it out increases stress and frustration. It can lead to feelings of loneliness and doubt about where they stand in the relationship. There is a difference in needing to take time to gather your thoughts and calm down after a negative incidence. This allows both parties to become “level-headed” and decrease the opportunity for the conversation to be argumentative and confrontational. The door is open for a calm crucial conversation that allows both people to share openly with the goal of having effective communication to resolve the issue.

Establish a timeframe for how long you all will take to “cool down” or “gather your thoughts” before coming together for an open and transparent discussion. Going to bed without talking, brings division in the relationship. You might think it doesn’t, but it does something to the person that is being ignored, controlled, and emotionally abused.

When the silent treatment is used as a form of control, the individual may ignore their partner for hours, days, or weeks. Knowing full well they are hurting the person, they choose to punish with silence and ultimately manipulate the situation.

Call to Action when he/she is being silent.

Have your own hobbies. Don’t be so “caught up” in the relationship that you lose a sense of who you are and what you like to do. Get active to get energized.

Avoid perusing social media. This can cause more harm than good. You need your mind to be on something positive and not on the images others what to portray about their lives.

Continue to connect with family and friends. Plan a last-minute outing to do something fun.

Take yourself on a date. Have a mini spa day and get a manicure and pedicure.

Go to the park and read a book.

Go for a walk, pray, and soak in some vitamin D.

Establish boundaries and ask yourself: “Is it time to leave the relationship? Is this something that you can deal with by staying in the relationship if he/she doesn’t change?”

Be honest with yourself and make an informed decision.

Once you’ve made a decision based on the last two bullet points above, determine your next steps. Is he/she willing to make the necessary adjustments to improve communication in the relationship and avoid using the silent treatment? Your mental health should not be challenged as a result of being the receiver of the silent treatment. Your mental health deserves peace, comfort, and love. You are worthy to be loved to life!
