You may enjoy being acknowledged and appreciated by others today. You could experience a sense of satisfaction as you receive praise for a job well done at work or feel proud that others seem to admire your efforts to improve your relationships. While admiration and validation from others is always nice, you may want to focus on strengthening your own sense of validation and confidence today. When you understand that your self-worth stems from you, you can turn your attention inward and give yourself the kudos you deserve. Doing this on a regular basis could sustain you and keep your confidence strong, even when others are not showering you with admiration and praise.

When we learn to praise ourselves and build our self-worth, we discover a deep well of confidence and inner strength that we can consistently rely on. Though it is natural to desire validation and praise from others, acknowledgment from others can be an uncertain prospect at best. We can be a much more reliable and constant source of self-acknowledgement and recognition. When others do praise or admire us, their acknowledgment becomes a nice bonus that we can freely enjoy but not be dependent upon. By choosing to take responsibility for your own self-worth today, you can also enjoy praise from others while knowing that their recognition is simply the icing on the cake.
