When something great happens in your life how do you celebrate?

Here are a few things I do:

  • buy a bouquet of flowers for my partner
  • go to a nice restaurant
  • bake or cook something special, esp. a sweet treat like cake, cookies, etc.

    It depends how big it is. If it’s something huge I might buy myself a cuddly toy, medium I get myself a nice box of chocolates or go out for lunch. Small I might buy a couple of individual chocolates from a fancy shop.

    As you can tell I like chocolate

      We have a very old, super popular Italian bakery near me. They have chocolate florotine cookies (my favorite) and other amazing treats.

      I do the same, and will stop in there for a special occasion.

    Nap.

    Honestly I’ve not celebrated anything in a very long time. I’ve not been hitting any big milestones so not got anything to celebrate.

    I think I’ve achieved lots of little things though like a small 4% raise, learning things I always wanted to but thought I never could, improving my life in little ways like keeping my place clean (hard with ADHD), not ordering takeaway and doing proper savings and budgeting.

    I could do with a non-matetialistic treat, so is love to hear some ideas in that vein.

      Shit I’ll celebrate a sunny day when my whole family is home by simply preparing a nice dinner for us and spending time together, happy and joyful. I’ll sing until I’ve annoyed everyone and we laugh, just because the sun is out and I’m in a good mood. Good moods are worth celebrating as they don’t come everyday

      Plenty of things to celebrate if you look small. I hope you find something small to celebrate soon!

      Making myself a fun coffee drink then putting on loud dance music and dancing in my kitchen is a low-materialistic treat I’ve taken.

      Taking a bath can be, too.
