What are You Proud of Yourself For?

What is one thing that you're really proud of yourself for?

This is a question that we simply don't ask ourselves enough.  We pick and poke at ourselves.  We beat ourselves up for things that we can't do.  We get mad at ourselves.  We tell ourselves the things that we're doing wrong but what are we doing right?  What are we really proud of ourselves for?

I'm proud of myself for my persistence.  By the grace of God, I've overcome a whole lot of obstacles, even w hen I didn't think I could.  I'll bet you have too.  I'll bet you've overcome more than you give yourself credit for.  Be proud of it.

I'm proud of myself for always learning.  I choose to continue to educate myself every single day to help me grow as a person.  I'll bet you learn new things daily, as well. Be proud of it.

I'm proud of myself for learning to manage my anxiety.  Some days it's really easy and some days it's harder to manage but I'm proud of myself for working to manage it on a daily basis.  I'll bet you work on managing something difficult in your life, too.  Be proud of it.

Even though some of these things may seem small to you, it's important for you to take the time to tell yourself that you're proud.  It's important for you to be there to boost your own spirits when no one else can or will.  You're accomplishing great things every single day.  Take time today to focus on what you're doing right.
