Proving Yourself
Posted on July 11th, 2008 by Devin
When you feel like you have to prove yourself to someone, or in general, do the opposite of what isn’t working.
- If you are more upset with the feeling itself but then you don’t actually work to prove yourself, go ahead and try to prove yourself. Give yourself credit for trying.
- If you spend most of your time actively trying to prove yourself, stop trying so hard. Tell yourself you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone.
- If you don’t know why you feel the need to prove yourself, apply some thought and identify some factors that lead to this feeling.



Amazing tips, I never thought like that before for proving my self like this.Thanks for this post.
