Celebrating How Far We’ve Come
Week 4 – Taking Time to Honor Your Growth
Hello Everyone!
We’ve reached Week 4 of the Care More project, and this week is all about celebration—pausing to reflect on the journey so far and honoring the small (or big!) ways we’ve grown over the past few weeks.
Life often moves so fast that we forget to acknowledge our progress. But growth—whether it’s showing yourself more care, connecting with others, or creating space for joy—is worth celebrating.
Looking Back: What We’ve Learned So Far
Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored different ways to Care More:
✨ Week 1: We started small, noticing the little joys and moments of care around us.
✨ Week 2: We created space, clearing out physical, emotional, and mental clutter to invite more presence.
✨ Week 3: We focused on nourishment, filling ourselves up with what truly replenishes our energy and spirit.
Each of these steps has been a reminder that caring for ourselves and others is a practice—it doesn’t have to be perfect, but it’s always meaningful.
As I reflect on my own journey, one of my proudest moments so far has been the fact that I’ve consistently shown up in these newsletters for a month. It wasn’t easy, but I stuck it through and I’m honored for every person that has read each weekly entry!
Week 4 – Celebrate Growth
This week, let’s shift our focus to celebration:
🌟 Celebrate the ways you’ve shown up for yourself, even when it was hard.
🌟 Celebrate the moments of connection you’ve created with others.
🌟 Celebrate the small wins—the little things that made a difference in your day.
Celebration can look however you want it to.
Here are some ideas to get started:
🎉 Throw yourself a mini “care party”—decorate your space, play your favorite music, and enjoy a special treat.
📖 Journal about your proudest moments from the past 4 weeks, no matter how small they seem.
🎨 Create something (a drawing, playlist, or collage) to represent your growth.
🌸 Take a walk and reflect on how you feel compared to when this project started.
Your Week 4 Challenge
Pick one way to celebrate yourself this week—big or small. It could be:
• A quiet moment of gratitude.
• Sharing your journey with someone you trust.
• Treating yourself to something special, just because you deserve it.
And if you feel inspired, I’d love for you to share your favorite celebration moment with me.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next?
As Week 4 wraps up, we’ll move into a new phase of the Care More project. Next week, we’ll begin focusing on caring for others—building deeper connections and showing care in our relationships.
For now, though, let’s savor this moment of reflection and pride. You’ve already made incredible strides, and that deserves to be honored.
Closing Thought
Thank you for walking this journey with me. This project has reminded me that care is a gift we give not just to others, but to ourselves—and that every step, no matter how small, is worth celebrating.
Here’s to a week of joyful reflection and growth. I’m so proud of what we’ve created together.
With care and gratitude,
Teralyn 💕
