After all, our brains are hardwired to focus on the negatives. Sure, we might give ourselves a pat on the back for a job well done, but how often do we actually bask in the moment and think to ourselves, "Wow, I really did that!" Take a moment to think about how we show up for our best friends and try to give ourselves that same praise and recognition. Advocating for yourself can release "happy chemicals" in your brain, which can connect the activity we're celebrating to the goodness we feel when we do so. As a bonus, it makes us more likely to repeat that behavior—and we're all for a simple motivation hack. Try this meditation to help you get into the practice of tooting your own horn.
