In this article, I’m going to explain the practice, where it came from, and how to implement it into your own life. So if you’re ready to take the next step in creating an extraordinary life that you love, read on!
Here are the steps you need to follow to also get extraordinary life:
1. Gratitude
2. Celebration
3. Intention
1. Gratitude
Gratitude is a practice that has been around for a long time and is gaining in popularity. It can have many positive effects on our life, from improving sleep to reducing stress to helping us emotionally regulate. I suggest having a daily practice of gratitude, celebrating our wins and successes, and setting intentions for the day, which I call GCI for short.
2. Celebration
Celebration is an important part of the GCI practice and helps to build self-confidence, recognize wins, and acknowledge yourself. I like to call it celebration, but it can be thought of as positive “brag” or something that you are proud of. This practice encourages us to pause and really recognize and celebrate our wins in order to help build our confidence and not be so consumed with perfectionism.
3. Intention
Intention is the third step in the GCI practice. This practice is designed to help people take charge of their lives and refocus on the present instead of worrying about the past or future. Intention can be used to create a more conscious and intentional approach to life and help create a life that you love.
To implement this practice, it is best to establish a daily routine. This could look like journaling while drinking your morning coffee, texting a friend, or setting up reminders on your phone. To make it easier, it can be helpful to Habit Stack with something you already do, such as drinking your morning coffee. You can also enlist the help of an accountability buddy to remind you to practice GCI. It can also be helpful to have a physical reminder, such as a sticky note or whiteboard in a place you will see it throughout the day. By taking the time to practice GCI daily, you can rewire your brain and start to take control of your life.
This article has highlighted the importance of the GCI practice: Gratitude, Celebration, and Intention.
