It is always good to look back on the things you've accomplished and give yourself a pat on the back. Although there may be people out there who are better than you at something it is all about your personal journey. All you should ever hope to be is better than the person you were yesterday.
Some researchers say that keeping a busy lifestyle and taking time to do things for yourself can aid in avoiding depression and poor sense of self-image/worth. This is why it is so important to take the time to reflect and realize the power of positive thinking! A study done by Mayo Clinic states that positive thinking can lead to health benefits such as:
- Increased life span
- Lower rates of depression
- Lower levels of distress
- Greater resistance to the common cold
- Better psychological and physical well-being
- Reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease
- Better coping skills during hardships and times of stress
So Remember to always take a second to smell the coffee before you get onto your daily grind. It's great to reflect and give yourself reasons to have a positive outlook on your day!
