You probably know the feeling when you try to do something, but those around you only criticize you, point out the slightest shortcomings and downplay your achievements in every possible way. In fact, many of us do this to ourselves. No wonder nothing works out. Stop being a strict judge of yourself and start praising yourself, your beloved.
Positive attitude and a good attitude are much more effective than constant criticism and resentment. Especially if you change your life: you lose weight, get used to new job etc. In any case, you are in the process of changing your lifestyle. For motivation purposes, you simply need encouragement and praise.
Remember the main rule - you deserve praise. If you have thoughts that there is nothing to praise yourself for, who needs it, etc. - drive them away. This is a 100% path to failure. Try to be supportive, respectful, and caring.
How to properly praise yourself?
Praise can be big or small. But when and how to use them is the question. Let's say you're losing weight. Big praise (trips, clothes, shopping, etc.) are great as rewards for achieving a certain weight loss goal (half a pound gone - you can buy yourself a blouse). Small praises (often forgotten) are ideal for "everyday use." Reward yourself every day or every week for meeting your calorie target, running an extra mile, constantly healthy eating or simply for following a meal plan. Small praises are watching a movie (or going to the cinema), chatting on the phone, taking a bath, etc.
You can reward yourself for literally anything you like. The key to success is to do it constantly and often. Remember that you are trying to live healthy life, and this task requires constant participation and reminders. Those. Praise and encourage yourself often, and don’t leave all the encouragement “for later.” And once again: long-term goals associated with losing weight are great praise, and daily and weekly goals (of course, those that are achieved) - here you can treat yourself to small joys.
How to avoid mistakes?
Make sure that praise is used solely for the purpose of supporting and accelerating your program. Simply put, don't become dependent on rewards, otherwise your entire motivation will simply fall apart. Try not to make sure that all your efforts are aimed solely at receiving praise and not at losing weight. Never use food as praise, it's a recipe for failure.
Make sure that praise or reward is not indifferent to you. A pair of new shoes, a new car, a day off? What's right for you? Don't fool yourself. If you perform rewards and praises only in your head and think that next time I will definitely do this, then you simply will not be able to develop this important habit of praising yourself.
