Don't we all deserve to be thanked for something? What about being thanked by our own selves? Shouldn't we value ourselves enough to give us credit when we deserve it--even for something miniscule?
Sometimes it's all too simple to seek affirmation from worldly things, from experiences, and from other people,
but I would argue that it's just as important to affirm ourselves from time to time.

What is something that you always try to remind yourself, especially on bad days?
For me, I tend to forget the fact that it’s ok not to feel ok.
When things get overwhelming, I tell myself to be positive, tough through it, and not be a crybaby.
But the more I try to be falsely positive, the worse I feel. And I blame myself for not feeling better, which creates an emotional downward spiral.
