Default Praise Yourself

You are reading from the book Today's Gift

When you do something you are proud of, dwell on it a little, praise yourself for it.
—Mildred Newman

Each one of us is very good at something. Maybe it's baseball or tennis where we display talent. Maybe we're good in math or at giving reports. A few people are talented at being good listeners or helpful friends. To recognize our own talents we may need help from others. It's always so much easier to see our faults, or the ways we don't meet our own expectations.

But the fact is we are all skilled in many areas of our lives. To accept praise--better yet, to quietly give it to ourselves--is a sign of healthy growth.

What things have I done well lately?
This doesn`t mean the pride of addiction, but endorsing yourself for sticking with the program and doing the do things that lead to recovery.

It was difficult for me to accept it and just saying, `Thank You` instead of justifying my actions or trying to rationalize it away.
