\"\"<\/a>I often encourage you to celebrate yourself and all you do. But it\u2019s also nice to celebrate the people in your life that you care about. Most people are insecure in some way, no matter how confident they come across. I still have my moments. And encouragement can make a difference for me. You don\u2019t have to throw anyone a party but your enthusiasm and excite words can add something special to a friend\u2019s day.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If a co-worker gets a promotion let them know you\u2019re happy for them. Don\u2019t let jealousy seep into your feelings. Bring them a cupcake. Make a bit of a fuss with your congratulations. It creates a wonderful vibe between you and they\u2019ll appreciate your acknowledgement.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If a friend loses weight after trying for a long time, don\u2019t let your wishes to lose your own weight temper your response. Find a small token to give to show how proud you are for them\u2014one flower, a candle, a hand mirror, etc.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If your friends friend\u2019s kids made the honor roll or had achievement that your kids didn\u2019t, make a fuss when you see those kids instead of wishing yours had done better. When your kids have an achievement, hopefully your friend will do it for them.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If they guy who you buy coffee from finally gets his degree, give him a round of clapping. You may have three degrees but his accomplishment means a lot to him. Show that you know it.<\/p>\n

No one\u2019s achievements or successes should take anything away from you. Jealousy does that! It keeps you from celebrating other people and you\u2019ll feel negative about what the person did. When you cheer for them, they feel good, and in turn, you do too! Look for things to celebrate in people who matter to you. I often just give a little clapping cheer when someone tells me about something good. You don\u2019t have to spend money to celebrate people. When you show you\u2019re excited for them, you give a special gift on its own. And it truly does come back to you!

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start & Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2952"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2962,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2952\/revisions\/2962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
