"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!
