I do not feel appreciated…

I do not feel appreciated…

We all learned early on that evil must be punished and good rewarded. If a child has done something good, it is being praised, and if it has been naughty – it will be scolded at. People who have been frequently punished and seldom praised in their childhood, often feel like they are not being appreciated by others. How to get out of the trap of “feeling underestimated”?
1. Start with yourself. If you think that you are not acknowledged enough, try the “reverse” technique. Express your admiration for someone, praise another person. Do not flatter, but express your appreciation from your heart. And take a notice of your feelings at that moment. Take as a rule to approach the mirror every night and find at least one reason to praise yourself for.
2. The giver´s hand will never be scanty. If you do something good to somebody, then believe me, the other person will always appreciate it. Not everyone feels comfortable expressing their gratitude in words. It is not necessary to require gratitude, because doing good is part of our natural need.
