LET'S BLOW OUR TRUMPETS!

Hello my friend,

How often do you praise yourself for all the things you do? Probably not very often … and one of those reasons could be that you don’t feel you do anything worthy of praise. Well let me tell you that everyday you do things worthy of praise. It doesn’t have to be a big thing, like getting a book published, the little things count as well. Keeping the house clean, making meals for the family, not loosing your temper with the neighbour’s dog today … all these things are worthy of praise. 


WHY IS PRAISING OURSELVES IMPORTANT?

Most people feel praise should come from the people around them, and yes, while that is true, if you wait for it to happen … you could be waiting a long time! The more you wait for praise, and it doesn’t come, the more negative you feel about it. But if you praise yourself you can feel good everyday. Praising yourself helps you realise how important you are to yourself … and don’t forget that YOU ARE the most important person in your life. If you take a moment before you go to sleep each night to reflect over your day, and praise yourself for all the things you achieved and accomplished … you will go to sleep feeling content and happy. By praising yourself, you stop looking for praise from others … and an amazing thing starts to happen … others start praising you! When you let go of worry you transmit an energy of positivity and you start enjoying life in the moment. 


HOW TO BLOW YOUR OWN TRUMPET
Blowing your own trumpet doesn't have to be a big ego thing, it can just be a subtle thing … like posting on social media with a photo of your latest accomplishment … or mentioning something in a conversation. If you never talk about what you know, nobody will ever get to know how awesome you are.
