Often at the end of the year we look back and laminate that we haven’t accomplished anything. From the perspective of others we have done amazing things in wonderful and courageous ways.
If we look back on our year with a critical eye and give ourselves a gold star for each of our accomplishment we will soon be amazed at how much we have accomplished. Our attitude of self-criticism will change to one of self-congratulating. We will laugh more, feel excited, energized, and empowered.
We need to be a good friend to ourselves. We need to have the courage to stop the criticism that cripples us and learn instead to compliment and congratulate ourselves. We can make it a habit by doing it day after day until we are empowered to become our better selves.
I congratulate myself for the good things
I do, say, and think.
I congratulate myself on the person I am,
And the person I am becoming.
I deserve gold stars . . . . So do you.
Very good point, I really need to learn this. I don't do it and I am not sure I can, It's hard to look toward yourself. I hope your feeling well, I am thinking of ya.
