There are days where it seems there’s no end in sight. Days when I feel that I’m trying to walk ahead on perfect ice. Days when I feel that nothing’s really worth it. Days when it’s boring, or stressful beyond what i want.
This is when I try to give myself a pat on the back. Grab a treat. Take a 30 min vacation.
When I am feeling good about my stuff, I also want this reward. Consistency is what I’m aiming for. I want my people to feel that I’ll always show up for them. I’m not here for a trophy. I’m here to create regularly.
I deserve an “atta boy!” every time i try.
If i win an award or public accolade, I try to remind myself there were a lot of days involved in that. Surprisingly, this doesn’t damper the satisfaction.
Celebrating the work means solidness
- I build my confidence
- I focus on the right stuff
- I have a more comforting and dependable life experience
- I want to work more
- I have a salve for painful moments
- I get self-love
- I can ignore the noise of perceived glory
I really needed to hear this today. I forgot it.
Take action : cheer!
- physically pat yourself on the back
- Think of something you did today that you liked – even if it’s small
- imagine a little graduation party for yourself
- get back to work
