The Power of Positive Reinforcement: Celebrating Wins

We tend to mark certain occasions, the special occasions such as the day we graduate, the day we are engaged, the day we get married, the day we buy a car or the housewarming occasions, our birthdays.
They are embraced as chances in which we can rejoice with our loved ones.
Big wins are those victories that give a feeling of achievement, that is similar to the emergence on the top of the mountain and the view of the trekking goals.
However, the little triumphs, being disciplined in doing your workout regimen, learning a new trade, and facing your phobia, are the paths that lead up to the said overlook.

It is also equally significant to note that such accomplishments are just as valuable as those larger, cognizable successes, as they feed the drive to continue striving, add to one’s confidence, and sustain forward progress.

In general, celebrations make us feel that we are appreciated, admired and recognised by the society. But we almost always neglect these minor achievements.

How about marking the completion of little things?

Do we take time to celebrate what we have achieved?

How many times do we clink glasses to acknowledge how far we have come, how strong and mature we have become?

But, why get happy about the little things? It is necessary to acknowledge and celebrate

Smaller achievements are stepping stones that pave the way towards that glorious finish line.

Celebrating your wins no matter how big or small helps you take stock of your personal growth.


A simple reward for any achievement no matter the magnitude is one of the more effective methods of encouraging people and ensuring that they remain on track. Did you finally do that thing you have been procrastinating to do?

Don't forget to give yourself a pat on the back for the little things you've managed to do.

I mean, it's not just about bragging rights, right?

Celebrating those tiny wins is really about saying, "Hey, good job," to yourself for putting in the work and seeing some progress.

It keeps you pumped for whatever's coming up next.

When you finish something, even if it's small, it's like throwing gasoline on the fire of motivation.

The happy chemicals

Every time you do something you’re supposed to, your head celebrates by releasing dopamine, the ‘happy hormone’.
Thus it means that, when you celebrate, you get to celebrate victory over personal failure by throwing confetti at it.

I lied, the only trick that is good for a party is a thankful one.
