Course overview
Lesson Overview
10.14 – Celebrating Growth in Sensory Self-Regulation: Progress in self-regulation deserves celebration. Recognizing how far you’ve come boosts motivation and gratitude. Celebrations can be simple, like journaling your milestones or rewarding yourself with a sensory-friendly activity. Reflecting on improvements shows how awareness turns into empowerment. Growth is not always linear, but every effort counts. Celebrating reinforces the idea that regulation is a journey, not a destination. It helps transform effort into pride. Over time, these reflections create confidence in your sensory control. Celebration itself becomes a tool for emotional balance and self-worth.
