Don’t Put Off Being Happy & Appreciate Yourself

Posted on March 9th, 2008, by Meggin McIntosh

Quote/Thought for Today (and everyday):

I just read a book that one of our MEMc members sent me: Focus on the Good Stuff: The Power of Appreciation by Mike Robbins. I’ll be able to use some of the author’s ideas for the “Gratitude” teleseminar in April…but I digress.

Here’s are a couple of thoughts for today:

“Don’t Put Off Being Happy”

Why wait?
What are you waiting for?
Now is a good time!

“Appreciate Yourself”

“When we love, value, and acknowledge ourselves for both what we do and who we are, we’re appreciating ourselves. It can take a variety of forms, but almost anything we think, feel, do, or say to ourselves or about ourselves in a kind, loving, and positive way fits into the category of self-appreciation. Here’s a list of some simple examples of self-appreciation:

Celebrate your success(es)
Speak about yourself in a positive way
Accept compliments with gratitude and ease
Forgive yourself for your mistakes
Take care of yourself–physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually (p. 174)

Being entrepreneurial as all members of MEMc are…deserves some appreciation. Get it from others, but also give it to yourself.
