Live & in person, Seats are extremely limited.
People are busier than ever. We have work, family and hobbies. We often feel exhausted and stuck. It’s easy to focus on the things that we don’t do, instead of all the things we accomplish on a daily basis. You’re probably not giving yourself credit where credit is due.
Your life deserves celebration. That means giving yourself credit – starting now.
The psychology of giving yourself credit
We often believe that being hard on ourselves is the only way to achieve our goals. We think that a competitive, unforgiving attitude is just what we need to push ourselves to success. But the truth is that by giving yourself credit, you actually instill confidence, self-compassion and self-love that will take you to greater and greater achievements.
Being hard on yourself can cause anxiety and end up leading to inaction, as you begin to believe that your failures are a part of who you are. On the other hand, research has shown that giving yourself credit and practicing compassion with yourself can actually increase your drive to make changes in your life and is linked to personal initiative and curiosity.
Serena Williams didn’t wait until she won 23 Grand Slams to give herself credit. Richard Branson didn’t wait until he made his first billion to give himself credit. Chances are, they set measurable, achievable goals along the way and celebrated each one of them. They didn’t dwell on their mistakes – they learned from them, stayed positive and worked even harder to achieve their goals. You can, too.
