How often are you feeling pride for something you've done or accomplished? We all deserve to be proud of ourselves, no matter how big, small or medium the task was. I'm here to chat about why it's important to be proud of yourself & how to be more proud of yourself.

Show Notes:
There always seems to be something in the way of feeling proud of myself.

It’s the things I haven’t accomplished yet. It’s the mistakes & failures I ruminate on. It’s the pain of the past that still haunts me. It’s everything & it’s nothing, because despite what we have been through, there is always something to feel proud about.

Being proud of yourself means you have a strong sense of self-worth. You know you are doing your best, continue to believe in yourself & don’t let bumps in the road keep you down.

Being proud of yourself also means feeling more content, grateful & more passionate about life, in general.

We let a lot of things get in the way of being proud of ourselves. We believe we aren’t good enough or haven’t done enough or can’t be enough. And it’s all in our heads. We use the external criticisms & judgements, coupled with our own negative self-talk from not forgiving ourselves for making mistakes and make those into excuses we use to not appreciate who we are & how far we have come.

One of the keys to being proud of yourself is accepting who you are right now. Not who you were yesterday or believe you will be tomorrow or a year from now. Right now. At this very moment. Flaws & all. It’s important because in appreciating who you are right now, you then appreciate your current growth & ability to keep moving forward. This will land you with something to be proud about. You can feel proud about how far you’ve come or the path you’re headed on or the things you made the decision to leave behind.

Here are a couple reasons why you should be proud of yourself:

1. You appreciate your abilities more when you feel pride in your accomplishments
2. It encourages you to push yourself more
3. You care less about what others think about you
4. You deserve it.

Today I want to chat about how to be proud of yourself. It might sound like something super easy to do for many people, but for others, it can seem like a foreign concept because you never feel like you hit a point where feeling proud is possible or acceptable.

1. Acknowledge every single win. Big, small & medium things count.
2. Adjust your expectations of success.
3. Do things that line up with your passions.
4. Know that not everything will work out.
5. Challenge Negative Thoughts.
