Tracking Your Successes
Life can provide more than its share of disappointments but one of the ways to counter the emotional side effects of defeat and the inevitable setbacks is to keep your very own victory log. This is a record of everything you've ever achieved. But be warned - once you start taking note of all your achievements, the list will quickly expand.
The surprising fact about the human condition is that we're all conditioned from early childhood to respond to setbacks with very strong feelings that reinforce our fears and doubts and anxieties. But very few people feel comfortable celebrating their achievements and enjoying their successes.
We need to correct this imbalance in our lives and a victory log will serve the purpose perfectly. List everything that you've achieved. That means everything. Enjoy the confidence that flows from a simple admission that you really are a capable and creative individual. It will work wonders for your self-esteem and put a well-deserved smile on your face! Some of the world’s most successful CEOs keep this kind of log on hand to reinforce their confidence when they go into meetings. Feeling successful is a potent resource to deploy in any situation.
