Congratulate yourself first!


 

Too slow! This was a runner’s comment as she crossed the finish line. Her two companion runners felt the same way about their performance. I wondered how different our conversations would be, if we congratulated ourselves first for what we accomplished … and then dived into the “how do we do it better.”

 

Wouldn’t it be empowering to hear the runner say, “We did it! Yeah! Good for us! Let’s work on improving our pace.”
