Make Yourself Proud and Acknowledge Your Successes

Increase your self-belief and give yourself the credit you deserve with the help of Hypnotherapy.

Do you tend to play down your successes and focus on your mistakes?

Do you wish you could improve your self-belief and be kinder to yourself?

For some people, pride does not come easily. Perhaps you weren't encouraged to acknowledge your successes when you were a child. Or maybe you've simply slipped into the bad habit of dwelling on your mistakes instead of relishing in your triumphs.

Whatever the reason, not giving yourself praise when you deserve it interrupts the natural processes that lead to increased self-belief.

Pride is a fundamental human emotion

Like any human emotion, pride can be unhealthy when taken to extreme levels. However when experienced in a healthy amount, the warm glow of pride contributes to a meaningful, satisfying life.

And in 2008, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology published a study showing that pride is actually a universally recognized emotion(1). Every study participant, from university students in North America, to members of an isolated, preliterate West African tribe, correctly identified images of someone looking proud.

And this shows us that pride is a fundamental, natural human emotion.

The evolution of pride

From a young age, many children are given encouragement when learning new skills. And when they finally get it right, they are praised.

In this moment, they experience the emotional reward of pride, and repeated experiences like this serve to strengthen their sense of self-belief.

The good news is that there are ways you can rediscover this natural feeling, such as deliberately recalling moments of success at the end of each day and taking the time to appreciate when you do something well.

And you can also enhance your ability to self-congratulate with the help of hypnosis.

Internalise positive feelings with Hypnotherapy

Relax incredibly deeply.

  • Develop a stronger sense of self confidence

  • Recognise your accomplishments more realistically
