StitcherHow to Be Proud of Yourself
It’s the second Tuesday of the month so I’m taking a deep dive into how to be proud of yourself.
(Welcome to this series! On the second Tuesday of the month, I take a deeper dive into a topic that comes up in the Madam Athlete podcast interviews or in my course, the Women’s Career Transformation Academy. The goal is to provide a little extra knowledge and empowerment beyond the inspirational interviews of my amazing guests’ unique career journeys. Enjoy!)
Inside This Episode
It is so important to figure out how to be proud of yourself. Because being proud of yourself is having a strong self-worth and knowing your self-worth. When you can be proud of yourself, you’re letting yourself (and others) know that you’re achievements matter.
And I’m talking about a positive pride instead of a toxic pride. And yes, I explain the difference inside this episode!
The benefits of being positively proud of yourself include improved self-worth, self-respect, mood, and overall sense of well-being.
When you’re proud of yourself, you physically stand taller and take up more space. And funny enough, did you know that when you’re proud of yourself and believe in yourself and your power, you actually overestimate your height?!
Turns out I’ve been doing that forever, and it’s not that I’m height-blind, instead it’s just that I believe in myself.
To help you figure this out, I walk you through some of the reasons it’s hard to be proud of yourself. I also share several steps you can take to get past those barriers, find your self-worth and pride, and start practicing being proud of yourself right away.
Part of what prompted this episode is recognizing a pattern in my podcast guests. Often, my guests have an easy time pinpointing and discussing the challenges they’ve faced in their career, but struggle to answer when I ask them what triumphs they’ve had, what things they’re proud of.
So my challenge to you, is to listen to this episode, put the tools for developing your self-worth and your positive pride, and post on social one thing that you’re proud of, no matter how big or how small! Tag me in your post so I can celebrate your achievement with you!
