top 5 ways to avoid under appreciation:

My top 5 ways to avoid feeling under appreciated:  

1)    Whatever you do, do it for YOU.

Whether you’re talking about your job, chores around the house, whatever.  

If it’s worth doing, do it.  If not reconsider.  

2)    Do unto others.

If you want to be treated with appreciation remember to show appreciation. 

-      take stock in your own behaviors. 

Share your positive thoughts.

         The response will be amazing. 

If someone does something to make your life more pleasant always acknowledge them.

 

If you like someone’s shoes, smile, work ethic, etc., express your admiration.

3)    Appreciate yourself.

Know your own love language.

“The Five Love Languages” is a phenomenally interesting book by Gary Chapman.  In it he outlines the 5 ways to express and experience love.   It’s a super approachable method for building awareness so that we can have stronger and healthier experiences with the people in our lives.   

Remember the relationship you have with yourself.   
By fostering a healthy relationship within, through self love, 
you actually build a more solid – and less needy – foundation 
to experience relationship with others. 

Use your new awareness of your own needs to reward yourself.  

4)    You can’t always get what you want.

But if you try real hard, you just might find, you get what you need. 

It’s true.  Learn to live in contentment. 

When you catch yourself complaining stop … that’s all, just stop.

5)    Master the art of gratitude

Gratitude is a mental state.  You have to make the decision.   I don’t believe that anyone is born truly grateful.  It’s a practice to be revisited many times a day.

Love is everywhere!
