Giving yourself permission to celebrate your successes

The Simplicity Sessions

Welcome back to The Simplicity Sessions, I'm delighted that you’ve joined us today. My name is Jenn Pike, your host, registered holistic nutritionist, medical exercise specialist, the best-selling author of the Simplicity Project and the creator of the women's revolutionary health program, The Hormone Project.

I recently had some great success and I found that I had trouble giving myself permission to celebrate. I thought through all the different ways I celebrate such as travelling, buying expensive things, or having a nice dinner. The world is not as open to travel these days and I am living more minimalistically, so buying nice things does not match my lifestyle.

I came to the conclusion that I can feel luxury in a different way to celebrate my successes. I feel luxurious when I can be alone, when I am up before anyone else, when I’m eating well and moving, when I can spend time with my family, and when I am rested.

The entire situation got me thinking about the time I went to a ceremony. It was the most powerful, quiet feeling that I have ever had. The quiet space spoke to me so much without any noise. I only went with one friend so I didn’t know anyone else. I was able to feed off of the energy and wisdom of the other women at the ceremony and I was inspired to define in writing what feeling successful, abundant, luxurious, and wealthy means to me.

If you have a question for me and my team, send it over to [e-mail] or via Instagram at @jennpike and I'll do my best to share helpful insights, thoughts and advice.

Here are the main topics of today’s episode:

• I had a recent success, but I had trouble celebrating it
• I used to associate celebrating successes with fancy items and expensive vacations
• The quiet ceremony
• Absorbing energy and wisdom from the women around me
• How I now define my own successes

Quotes -

• “ I really struggle with celebrating any level of success. I recognize this success. I acknowledge this as success, but I also tend to just dive right into the next thing.”
• “...what is my block with this? Why am I having such a difficult time celebrating myself? I went through all these different ideas in my mind of what I believed the definition of celebration to be: a big party, a trip going away, you know, having drinks and dancing, buying something luxurious.”
• “I'm working to really try to embrace is the embodiment of this beautifully audacious woman that I have been becoming. “
• “And so you just think of the decades of wisdom, of knowing, of living, of learning, of heartache, of growth, of beauty, of strength, of resiliency. It was really powerful and really beautiful. “
• “The luxury in all of it and celebrating the wealth and the success and the freedom of it all is to have time and space nourishment, hydration, nature, choice, and freedom.”
