Why you need to celebrate yourself

We live in a society where self-deprecation is more accepted than self-appreciation. In fact, it's encouraged in a way, because there isn't much of a backlash when it comes to talking down on yourself. I mean, if anything you're just inviting others to do the same but the opposite triggers those that feel the need to humble others and why is that? Confidence offends insecure people.

 We're told it's fine to celebrate everyone and everything but ourselves. Talking about your accomplishments is seen as bragging and complimenting yourself is seen as narcissistic? Hmm I guess we must wait for others to validate us instead? But then you will seen as needy lol make it make sense!

Share your stories of your success (inspire others) Take pictures, compliment yourself, take it all in and love it. Absolutely! We have one life and it is to be lived.

There have been too many times I've noticed peoples reactions to others bigging themselves up and it's mainly been negative...the usual eye-roll and screwing of the face. It's quite embarrassing to witness, I mean no one likes arrogance but I do believe you should be able to speak highly of yourself and your accomplishments without being made to feel bad about it. 

If you feel the need to humble others it shows you are in need of healing. Their confidence is clearly triggering a wound and instead of spending time and energy on bringing people down, direct that energy into finding ways to raise your self-esteem. If you're struggling with this, think of all the great things you've accomplished big or small and list them out. Make sure you put this list somewhere you can view it daily to serve as a reminder of how much you have accomplished because sometimes we are too future-focused it makes it easy to forget how much we have already achieved.
