Acknowledge your 2009 Successes
Acknowledge and Appreciate Yourself TODAY!
By Ian Howard
Inspired by Jack Canfield "Success Principles" and Frank Kern
With 2009 coming to a close, it's time to think back over the past 12 months to acknowledge and appreciate yourself for everything you've achieved or accomplished throughout the past year.
Are you able to recall your successes as well as your failures?
A human beings we often under-appreciate the little things we accomplish every day. And yet recall in detail all the times we failed or made mistakes. That's because the brain remembers events more easily when they're accompanied by strong emotions, and we fabricate a story around the event to protect ourselves in the future.
Take a moment to reflect, you might recall, losing some weight, completing a 5k or 10k walk for charity, winning an award, or getting a new job or promotion?
Make sure you include in your successes, how your relationship with your partner or spouse has grown, or you completed one amicably, quality time spent with your kids, got your list of 'Things to Do' complete, got acknowledged at work, or paid off a credit card? Allow your mind to recall everything.
Acknowledge yourself and then request that someone else acknowledges you! Ask them what they would like to be acknowledged for also.
Build your self-esteem by recalling ALL the ways you have succeeded and your brain will be filled with images of you making your achievements happen again and again. Accept the mistakes and failures as they happened, but that does not make you a failure and you won't take risks next time an opportunity to succeed come along.
The more you acknowledge your past successes, the more confident you become in taking on and successfully accomplishing new ones.
Take some time to write your 2009 achievements down.
Once the thought process starts, jot them down and start seeing as successful person you are who can continue to achieve great things.
The challenge is for you to list 10, then 50 or more of your 2009 successes.
Start when you with your recollections of your 2009 New Years resolutions and think of all your achievements since then. Don't just pick the big things, write down all the things you have taken for granted. Thinks like, learning to ride a bike, making a speech, getting your first or new job, starting your own business, or leading a successful project.
Surround yourself with Great people and reminders of your successes.
Research shows us that what you see in your environment and the people you mix with has a psychological impact on your moods, your attitudes, and your behavior. The environment you choose has a great deal of influence over you. And believe it or not: You have almost total control over your choice of environment.
Surround yourself with pictures, articles, trophies, awards and other symbols of your years achievements. Make a special place – a special shelf, wall or section of your home or office that you frequent every day and fill it with your success symbols.
This will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind and will subtly remind you that you are someone who is a success in life!
Make sure your children successes are also proudly displayed with your success symbols as well.
People like to be around those who have a healthy self-esteem and who are achieving their goals. Commit to acknowledging your achievements and your brain will begin to tell you the truth… that anything is possible and you can do ANYTHING!
