Useful Tips To Help You Feel Better About Yourself

Define Success In Your Own Terms

Success will look different to every person. People’s priorities, values and experiences in life influence what success means to them. Take stock of what those things are for you. Get down in writing what success looks like to you. If your family takes precedence over your career, perhaps staying home to raise your children is what success means to you. For another parent, success may mean making partner at work. And for another parent, success may mean working part-time in order to be home when their kids finish school. There are as many ways to define success as there are people in the world.

View Your Failures Objectively

Everyone fails at one point or another. Even taking our first steps in life resulted in multiple failures until one day we just started walking. Failure is the norm and can teach us valuable lessons if we allow it to. Look at your failures without judgment and brainstorm what you can do differently for next time. This is an accomplishment in itself. It also gives you a proactive approach to move forward. See failure as just another step towards success. If you need to take some time to grieve the failure, do so, but then pick yourself back up and keep moving ahead.
