Low self-esteem is the scourge of many people. She is able to discourage building relationships and climbing the career ladder, making friends and engaging in her favorite hobbies. To consider yourself an intelligent and successful person, think about what achievements you could be proud of.
Pride will depend on your priorities. For some, these will be career heights, another will be happy that he has married a young and beautiful woman, while the third will win regional chess competitions and will remember this day with a smile for a long time. You can be proud of any achievement, and the more you get there, the better for you. However, the most common reasons for pride can be identified.
Work and study
In their youth, people are often proud of excellent studies, and later - of work. Moreover, the subject of one's own contentment can be both a long-term good result and individual ups. Stable academic excellence and regular fulfillment of the plan are no less good than victories at the Olympiads and the title of the best employee of the year. Small successes are also worth noticing: a control test or praise from a boss that is completed with the highest score is also very pleasant.
A family
Family is another reason for pride. You can be proud of a beautiful and successful husband or wife. After all, you managed to attract the attention of such a wonderful person, achieve it and build a strong relationship. Healthy, ruddy children, who begin to read by syllable, show their first drawings, in which mom is vaguely guessed - another opportunity to praise yourself: you regularly did not sleep at night, put a lot of energy into their upbringing, studied with children, bought them the best books and educational toys, and here's the result.
Healthy lifestyle
Regularly going to the gym and eating healthy food is a real feat for some, because it is much more pleasant to lie on the couch and watch TV shows, while savoring ice cream from a huge bucket. If you have embarked on the path of struggle for your health or a good figure, regularly go in for sports, the waist narrows, and the extra pounds go away - this is a great reason for pride, because you are consistent and show excellent willpower. And even if you occasionally break loose and skip a workout in a coffee shop, this should not darken your joy.
Hobby success
In addition to work, many people have hobbies. Someone plays in a rock band in the evenings, others make wood and write poetry. Invitations to concerts, enthusiastic buyers of your products, publications in magazines and literary collections - is it not a recognition of your talent, which you must be proud of, because you deserve it.
