Isn’t it time you started to give yourself
some credit?
Yes it is!
We all achieve so much in life. We do more
than we realize we do; yet we rarely give ourselves credit. Not to mention we
don’t take praise or credit from others that well.
“I'd
like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the
back.” Dee
Dee Ramone
We punish ourselves for past mistakes but
when we achieve a goal or a milestone we just move on to the next one. We do this without truly taking the time to
show gratitude and give ourselves a good old-fashioned pat on the back.
Pat on the back -
An
expression or gesture of praise or approval.
Yes I am generalizing a little but we need
to consciously be able to acknowledge all we have achieved and are achieving along
the way. Don’t wait until you achieve your goal to recognize your achievements.
Celebrate the successes along the way. Give yourself reference points for
success at each step.
“Giving
credit where credit is due is a very rewarding habit to form. Its rewards are
inestimable.” Loretta
Young
When others praise you don’t deflect it by
saying things like “it was nothing” or “anyone could have done it”. You did it,
no one else. Give the person who praised you a gift by saying “thank you for
saying” or “thank you that means a lot I worked so hard on this”. You get the
idea I know you have your own words.
“Maybe
you don't see people looking at you because you aren't looking at them. Maybe
you don't hear all the good things people say about you because you're too
focused on the bad. Maybe you're a lot more wonderful, beautiful & special
than you ever give yourself credit for.” Unknown
If you didn’t achieve what you set out to
do today no problem, hit the reset button and go again as there is always
tomorrow. You got this!
Rise Up. Out of the everyday and into life.
