154: Why You Can Experience Frustration With Success & How to Transform It Into a Win
You’d think celebrating success would be easy for everyone. But for many, if not most people, it actually feels unnatural. Why, though?
This question came up after the successful launch of my book She Thinks Big on Amazon. That launch frustrated me, and I couldn’t celebrate my win. So, after doing some exploring, I came up with a few causes for the lack of celebration and what you could do about it the next time you achieve a milestone.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn six reasons why it might be hard to celebrate your achievements and four ways to start celebrating right now while making it feel more natural to you. I’ll also reveal how I put some of these principles into practice and why my book launch was a negative experience initially.
