We are truly our own worst critic. Why? When we set standards, often we will personally exceed them, without giving much notice to it all. That is the wrong way to approach situations and life, in general. You owe it to yourself to be truly happy and feel accomplished every day, and it starts with recognizing your achievements and valuing yourself.
1. Realize How Far You Have Come
No matter what your situation entails, you have always come from a different place. From a personality, mentality, to even a physical change. If you are happy with the results, be proud that you have made these efforts to improve. No one else will be able to change you; you did that for you. Own it, be proud of it and keep growing.
