Episode Notes

Why self-awe is important

• It’s honest. Considering yourself mediocre just isn’t true. 
• It reminds you, you are part of something greater
• It clarifies your mission
• It removes your limitations. Anything is possible if you are in awe of yourself and believe that the world needs the gifts you possess. 

How to increase your self-awe

• Body gratitude exercise 
• Acknowledge weaknesses and note how you’ve managed them 
• Celebrate your strengths
• Stop waiting for others to affirm you, affirm yourself so regularly, the comments of others are icing 
• Do daily reminders of your awesomeness
• Reflect upon your compliments rather than dismissing them
• Recognize that many of your accomplishments are attributable to your wondrousness, not luck.
