Comparisons

Looking at personal experience over time is a positive way to measure progress and provide an inner drive. Being able to look back and notice how eating habits have changed, posture has improved, clothing fits differently, or there is less pain with certain activities are rewards within themselves. Rather than comparing one’s self to others, one can turn this into an opportunity to see barriers removed and that difficult tasks can be accomplished. Self praise is worth taking the time to emphasize success, not mistakes.
