Express gratitude towards yourself for your efforts, achievements, and growth from "summary" of The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan
When we think about gratitude, we often focus on expressing thanks to others. We send thank-you notes, buy gifts, or simply say "thank you" when someone does something nice for us. But what about expressing gratitude towards ourselves? It may seem a bit strange at first, but taking the time to appreciate your own efforts, achievements, and growth can be incredibly powerful. We are often our own harshest critics, quick to point out our flaws and shortcomings. But how often do we stop to acknowledge all the hard work we've put in, the goals we've accomplished, and the progress we've made? By expressing gratitude towards ourselves, we can shift our focus from what we haven't done to what we have achieved. Think about all the times you've pushed yourself out of your comfort zone, faced your fears, and overcome obstacles. Those moments deserve to be celebrated. By acknowledging your efforts and achievements, you are reinforcing a positive cycle of self-appreciation and self-worth. It's important to remember that growth is a process, not a destination. We are constantly evolving, learning, and improving. By expressing gratitude towards yourself for your growth, you are recognizing the journey you've been on and the person you are becoming. So take a moment to reflect on all the ways you've challenged yourself, all the goals you've reached, and all the progress you've made. Give yourself the same kindness and appreciation that you would offer a friend. After all, you deserve it.Similar Posts
