Acknowledge when you achieve

Pessimists are often perfectionists and are too tough on themselves.

"Perfectionism is negative and irrational. There is nothing wrong with wanting to do your best..... but you'll never deliver if you expect to be perfect" says Rooke.

The solution? Acknowledge when you have achieved, not just when you haven't, and don't attribute success to good luck or other people - you've achieved those things

Optimists know how to take credit when it's due.

So.....

are you one of those people that must do everything right the first time and it must be perfect otherwise, well it's a failure (in your head of course!) ?

won't allow yourself to celebrate the milestones reached and goals achieved?

This coming year it's all about Giving yourself a Break and just allowing things to take their course and allow yourself to be the you.

It's time to celebrate all achievements big and small, you really can do it!
