Today was Father’s Day in Australia, and being a new dad of just over 4 weeks – I must say I enjoy this day!  A day just dedicated to us fathers!  I will admit that until I became a father, this day I thought was just another day for all of us to celebrate something.  Another way to make us buy more stuff!  But looking back over my four weeks of being a father – I am glad there is a day just dedicated for all the hard work that we have done during pregnancy and birth… and Ladies, I know what most of you are already thinking – do not worry Mother’s Day is not that far away!  Of course I am just joking about the hard work that us fathers had to go through as compared to the mothers, but today got me thinking… having a day just to celebrate your success is a great way to rejuvenate and remember your accomplishments.  A day like today reminds us of what we have done, the sacrifices, the rewards, and also the lessons we learned to get to where we are. 

So in terms of your health, do you celebrate your successes?  I suggest that you should have a day of celebration built into your calender.  Did you lose 5 kg this year, did you finish the City to Surf Race last weekend, are you eating less junk food, did you start drinking more water, are you feeling better this year than last, are you more flexible, more mobile, more energetic, are you getting more sleep … all of these calls for a celebration, a small recognition that you accomplished something, this will ensure that you congratulate yourself for a great job done, AND it will also reenforce your mind and body to continue with the new found success!  So go ahead – Plan your day and celebrate your victories, celebrate your wins!
