Having trouble thinking of a way to celebrate? Here are a few, ideas:
Say, “Yes!”, while you do a fist pump.
Drum a happy beat on a wall or desk
Imagine your mom giving you a big hug
Do a subtle head nod
Pretend you just nailed a half court shot
Visualize fireworks going off for you
Smile big
Do a double thumbs-up
Draw a happy face and feel it
Hum a few seconds of a peppy song
Think of your favorite teacher saying, “You did a great job!”
Raise your arms and say, “Victory!”
Think of your best friend being happy for you
Briefly massage your own shoulders or neck
Think, Yes, I am succeeding with change.
Imagine opening a beautiful thank-you gift
Say, “That’s what I’m talking about!”
Do the floss dance
Throw imaginary confetti
Say, “I nailed it!”
Clench your fists and say, “Yes!”
Smile at yourself in the mirror
Pump your fists and say, “Awesome!”
Hear a roaring crowd
Say, “Way to go!”
Put your palms together in gratitude
Say, “Got this one,” and snap your fingers
Put your hands on your hips and puff out your chest
Say this to yourself: “Yes, I’m good at creating habits”
Strut around the room in a proud and playful way
Say or think, “Good job!”
Tap your fist on your heart three times
Imagine a teacher handing you a trophy
Think of your child smiling at you
Do alternating fist pumps
Do a celebration fist pumps
Think, Yes, I got this!
Imagine the taste of chocolate
Look at something that is bright yellow
Rub your hands together in glee
Imagine your father saying, “Wow. That was excellent!”

Snap your fingers
Imagine getting the news that you got a new job
Say, “You got this!”

SIng, “Celebrate good times, come on!”
Give yourself a compliment: “I’m so good at…”
Whistle a happy song
Breathe out and say, “Yes!”

Clap for yourself briefly
