Self-critical feelings could cause you to judge yourself harshly today. You may be prone to mentally diminishing the value of your accomplishments or assuming that your duties are unimportant. Instead of taking yourself too seriously and focusing on your mishaps, consider taking some time to catalog all of your recent successes and ruminate on the many positive ways that your actions have affected others. You may find that when you stop being hard on yourself and enjoy your accomplishments, you begin to understand how self-defeating your critical behavior was. If you are uncomfortable with honoring yourself, ask a loved one or colleague to be your mirror and have them honor you instead. Doing your best to be proud of yourself today can help you enjoy your day.

Taking pride in your accomplishments and celebrating your triumphs the way you would the victories of your loved ones can be highly motivating. Downplaying your achievements because you feel undeserving is self-defeating and can prevent you from realizing your potential. When you recognize and celebrate all that you have done, new aspirations will never seem out of reach. You'll have a firm grasp of what you are capable of and what challenges you are ready to take on. Your ability to acknowledge your successes will bolster your self-esteem because you are treating yourself with the same respect that you give others. Your willingness to look with pride at your accomplishments today will make you feel good about yourself.
