Most of us appreciate when other people express appreciation for us. Clearly some of us are more motivated by this than others, and it can be a bit uncomfortable to receive, but it’s very rare to meet someone who feels over-appreciated or doesn’t enjoy being acknowledged at some level. However, the most important and most difficult aspect of appreciation is being able to do it for ourselves in a genuine way. On this episode, I talk about why authentic self-appreciation can be so hard, and I offer a series of reminders and techniques for how to do it effectively.
