Numerous studies extol the benefits and necessity of recognizing individuals for their accomplishments and progress to motivate them to strive for more. Being mindful of the positive achievements of others is not only beneficial to others but is vital for any leader or manager.
We sometimes forget to give that same recognition to the one we impact the most daily: Ourselves. The list of ‘to-do’s’ is endless, and whatever requires improvement always appears to be at the forefront, but what about where you have come from and achieved before?
The adversity you or the team face today is not something you cannot cope with. You have experienced worse before and have overcome it.
Give yourself a little recognition for what you have achieved to date. It will make the to-do’s and needed improvements less daunting and surmountable.
