Do you ever just feel PROUD of yourself?

Wow, DCUM must be in a REALLY good mood today or this is the biggest case of sock puppeting ever.

Lol!

Thanks for the reminder OP. I’m proud of you too.

I have a hard time feeling proud of anything because I was told I was stupid and sucked by my father and then my ex husband. But the other day I looked around at my house (renting) and how it’s big, safe, covered in my children’s artwork, with a beautiful garden and yard, and full of love and happiness. And I realized that I don’t give myself enough credit, for creating that life out of trauma. My kids are happy and affectionate and doing well. I have a loving partner and I am healing everyday.

Congratulations OP on what you have accomplished in the last 18 months and most importantly to be feel fulfilled despite what you have gone through w the divorce. Keep it up! Being proud of oneself is the first step towards creating success.

To answer your question, yes I feel proud just about everyday. Sometime over major accomplishments such as reaching professional milestones but often just over everyday small stuff. For example, I am an Ok cook who follows recipes to the t. The other day, I pull together a simple fish dish that I was proud of. It was easy but tasty. I felt proud that I followed my instincts w blending whatever spices I had on hand (given the snow). The little moment of joy when it all came together felt so good.

I used to be super critical of myself. Now I cherish these small wins throughout my day. I am so much happier and it translates to my professional work as well.

Nice! I've been trying to treat myself more kindly. My instinct is to notice where I mess up but not what I did well but I want to change that.

Way to go OP!!!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hopefully your story will inspire other women out there who have been cheated on to leave their husbands and live their best life!

Because once they leave - the best is yet to come❣️❤️❤️❤️

Congrats OP, it's nice when life falls into place this way.

What's your side hustle? I'm not currently thriving per se and could use one.

[Anonymous]

Also curious about the side hustle. I'd pay you to coach me on setting one up!

[Anonymous]

Op, you are truly amazing! Yes, sometimes I allow myself to feel pride in myself, but I can’t think of any accomplishments like yours. I guess I’ve lost and kept off 15 lbs in the past few months?

Nice job OP. You rock!

[Anonymous]

Well done, OP!

$2000 would not get you and 2 kids to Paris unless you had a time machine back to 2002. Sure thing, OP.
