Even after hearing praise, I go over it again when the family gathering is over.
At the family gathering, I was told I’d done well. But once I got home, I kept wondering if the praise was deserved.
Scenes
- I can’t stop wondering if I really did well. — At the family gathering, I was told I’d done well. On the way home, I wondered if the praise was deserved.
- I first check whether it’s true — I said thank you at the gathering, but on the way home, I wondered if I’d done anything worth praising.
- I measure even good work against my standards first. — When I look at saju traits, I pay attention to familiar ways of judging things. The strict standards you hold yourself to can come into play when you hear praise, too.
- Today, write down the praise as it was said — Write down today’s praise in one sentence, then add one thing you’ve done alongside it. You don’t have to try to believe it right away.
- Praise sits beside the things I’ve done — Even on days I can’t accept praise right away, what I’ve done is still there. Start by practicing seeing both side by side.
