Can someone give any tips? I have a hard time praising myself, it feels that I'm just being too easy on me, and it won't get me anywhere

What do you want to be able to say about yourself but feel like you cannot? Work on THAT until you can look yourself in the mirror and know you are that.

Thanks for the advice. But I think I expressed myself wrong. What I meant to say was that, even though I can praise myself, it doesn't feel real, like if someone else was doing. The feeling of being praised by me is a lot less exciting. But maybe this is normal, I don't really know

Thanks for the tip! Do you only find yourself doing them in times of need, or it's a routine? I wonder of how much it works when people are praising you.

I try really hard to do it everyday.. but do it at LEAST 4 times a week. Yes! I love praise from people but don't look for it. Another thing I Try and do daily is do one thing for me. Mine now is a bath and reading.
