Out of all the things we measure, progress through life is not one of them typically…We measure how far we may be able to run, walk, or swim, and for those who are in school; grades are measured by knowing where you need improvement, and then by the next mid-term or report card, you’re able to measure your progress. What about our progress through life and where we have made improvements. It's like we forget to give ourselves praise when praise is needed.
Just as it's hard to look at ourselves in the mirror when we are doing something wrong… it's hard to look at ourselves in the mirror and say… I am doing a really good job! Take time to create a list as to what you have achieved or the things you have done right. Don't focus on what others may view as markers of success, focus on your areas of success, no matter how big or how small and write them down. Never stop giving yourself praise and remember to tell yourself, you did a good job!
