Give yourself some appreciation

For most of us, there are times when we feel underappreciated, as if no one understands how hard we work and how much

we are sincerely trying.

At times, it’s important to stop what you are doing and give yourself sincere appreciation. Take a few moments to

reflect on what you’ve been doing and on the nature of your intentions and actions. Mentally review your

accomplishments.

Almost everyone loves to be patted on the back by others. It feels good. However, when it’s not happening, don’t let

it get you down or adversely affect your attitude. Praise from others is never a certainty, and making it a condition

of your happiness is a really bad idea.

What you can do is praise yourself and pat yourself on the back. Be honest and genuine regarding your compliments. If

you’re doing a good service, give yourself some credit. If you’re making life a little better for even one person, or

making any type of contribution to society, give yourself some credit.

You deserve to be recognized. Actually take the time to do so.
