They feel like what they do is never enough.<\/p>\n<p>If you can relate, get ready for a career breakthrough when you start building a habit of self-appreciation in the place where self-judgment has been.<\/p>\n<h2>One easy way to make that transition is to get into the habit of listing five things you are proud of yourself for every night before you go to bed.<\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to write them down, but there are some key points to keep in mind if you want this to have the desired effect of changing your M.O. from <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/the-inner-work-of-entrepreneurship\/\">self-critical to self-appreciating<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First, it has to be no less than five things.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis may feel like a stretch, but that\u2019s okay. It\u2019s actually supposed to be challenging. If you feel like coming up with five things you are proud of yourself for at the end of every day is a tall order, it simply confirms you are being too hard on yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The second thing to keep in mind is that these things do not have to be monumental.<\/strong><br \/>\nThey can be small actions, like remembering to call your friend for her birthday, or <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/the-power-of-one\/\">doing a small task you\u2019ve been dreading<\/a>. And if something occurs to you that you think is too small and insignificant, include it. The fact that it occurred to you makes it worthy of being on the list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most crucial part of this exercise (besides that it has to be five things) is that you do it EVERY DAY!<\/strong><br \/>\nDoing it every day will facilitate the process of building new neural pathways in your brain. Over time, you will find yourself noticing things over the course of the day that you want to add to the list.<\/p>\n<p>Paying attention to the dialogue in your head is so important!<\/p>\n<p>Because thinking about and talking to yourself in a positive, self-affirming manner is instrumental to your growth, happiness and satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is your work situation frustrating you? Do you hate your job, but have no idea what to do instead?<\/strong> Attempting to navigate those waters without support is not fun (yes, I do know, but that\u2019s another story).
