"I AM"

"I'm Proud Of You!"

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished about a year ago 1 min read
"Well Done You!"

“Before starting the day,

tell yourself 5 things

you’re proud of yourself for.

Let’s start off our days

with celebrating ourselves”

We do feel Good

when we ‘pat ourselves on our backs’.

And we should

do this more often.

It is not selfish!

It is

“looking after ourselves”.

Self-Reflection

may be a new idea to us but why?

We look in a physical mirror every morning

to make ourselves

look ‘Presentable’ and ‘Good’ for the day.

There is no difference

when we look into our ‘Mental’ mirror

and remind ourselves

of how well we are doing in Life.

THIS

will Help our Mental Health.

We have overcome

many challenges

in our Lives,

and we should Remember

and be Proud of these.

We always ‘celebrate’ what others do,

why are we not ‘celebrating’

what “WE” have done?

And this is easy

to put into

our daily routine.

When we sit down

for our breakfast every morning,

get out that Gratitude journal

and write down these 5 things

that you are Proud of Accomplishing,

big or small.

It might have been something you did yesterday.

It might have been something that you did in junior school

that you have never forgotten.

You will be surprised

how quickly

you fill that journal up.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
