Give yourself praise

 

Give Credit Where Credit is Due

by Jane Powell 

“Give yourself praise.”

Why do we find it so hard to praise ourselves when we achieve something? It doesn’t seem to matter whether our accomplishments are small or sensational. Giving ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, can be the emotional equivalent of climbing Mt. Everest!

Perhaps you were trained to be modest; perhaps, you were told you were hopeless and didn’t learn to believe in yourself. Perhaps your past achievements were simply ignored by parents, peers or mentors. Or, maybe you’ve simply given up on expecting accolades.

We often freely praise others for their achievements yet withhold it from ourselves. But self-praise is important – more important than praise from others. Others are not always dependable. But, you can always count on yourself.

Today, begin your journey of self-commendation. Praise yourself for each achievement, however insignificant you may think it is. Watch yourself achieving as you go about your day. And give yourself a pat on the back – you deserve it!

 

Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. Happiness is an inside job

You can completely transform any relationship, no matter what it's like right now.
Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.
To transform every single relationship you have in your life.
Fall in love with YOU!
Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.
Know that you are perfect. Do not think any negative thoughts about you.
Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.
Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.
Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.
Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.
Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. Happiness is an inside job.
Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy. Respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness.
Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.
Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Love and respect yourself completely.
Know that you are perfect right now.

 

Step into this moment

Instead of obsessing over the problems, you can be working on the solutions. Where you’re headed is a much more meaningful concern than where you’ve been.

Don’t be held back by thoughts of what might go wrong. Now is your opportunity to do all you can to make sure things go right.

Choose right now to take life in stride. Remind yourself that you can do just fine with whatever life sends your way.

On the down days, let your dreams pull you up. On the up days, let those dreams push you even faster ahead.

There is goodness in all that’s around you. There is some kind of positive value to be found in every experience.

See that goodness, and bring that value to life. Joyfully, confidently step into this beautiful moment and make its new richness your own.

Ralph Marston
