Celebrating yourself can feel unnatural at first. But why does it feel selfish? Especially for those who give a lot, finding balance between giving and receiving is crucial. Just like breathing, imbalance leads to depletion—of energy, motivation, and recognition.
Balance Between Giving and Receiving : To avoid feeling depleted, maintain a balance. It's essential to give yourself the recognition you deserve. This isn't selfishness in a negative sense, but rather "kind selfishness."
Practical Steps:
Acknowledge Small Wins:
Congratulate yourself for small achievements. Ate a healthy breakfast? Say, "I am proud of myself. I am strong."
Celebrate Bigger Successes:
Did a top-notch presentation? Affirm, "I rock. I am happy to have the skills I need."
Long-term Benefits:
Practicing kind selfishness reduces the need for external validation. You’ll feel more confident in your contributions, reducing feelings of anger or sadness from lack of recognition.
Try celebrating yourself and share your experiences. See you next week, and remember to: #KeepGrowing.
