When you are working to reach your goals, you will have success and failures. Things will go better than you expected and there will be things that didn't go so well. It is as important to understand your flounders as it is to understand your successes. It is also important that you not only realize where you have succeeded but that you appreciate your success as well. Appreciating your success will push you forward in achieving what you are after.
When you have success, no matter how small it might be, make sure to spend time and celebrate it. Do something to underline the fact that you achieved something, this doesn't have to be something big, but do celebrate your achievement.When you are celebrating your achievements, you will remember the successes better because you took time to appreciate them. You will engrave them in your subconscious and conscious mind. Remembering your success will add to your self-belief and it creates a motivation to replicate your good
achievements. In other words you have created your own positive reenforcement, which I like to call positive self-reenforcement.
Make other people happy with your achievements by involving them in your celebrations. Involving others in will anchor memories of achievement even further.
As you should not exaggerate your failures you should also not down play your achievements or succeses. Be proud of them, share them and celebrate them with others especially the ones that supported you, but than raise the bar so your achievements will be greater with every success you have.
