You're a great person, gosh darn it. But sometimes criticism might make you knock yourself down a few pegs — if not the whole ladder. Complimenting yourself isn't some kind of ego-raising practice, but it's a refresher that you are you for a reason, and you deserve to feel great about yourself. Forget about the negatives, and focus solely on the positives. Putting just a minute aside to boost yourself up every day will make quite a difference.
