Praise and blame are two sides of the same coin. If someone does not blame themselves for certain things, then they fail to take responsibility. The same is true of praise. We should praise ourselves for those things we are genuinely responsible for.

Hi..

I think it's real good when we quietly praise ourselves. Specially when we know if it's true. We may feel somehow when we are deserving from our own praises. We can get some good amount of self esteem and that is good for morally or spiritually supporting ourselves.

We usually sometimes just don't expect others to do that for us. That even sometimes there are just no others to praise us too. When in time we need most to be spiritually revitalized.

We know ourselves better than others do. It is normally fine to create a good relationship within oneself too. To reward a good self praising deed. It will leaven the heart and mind. Then most of all enhancing the love and respect with our own person. But in some kind of a honest way..That may help us keep grounded on a better side.

Answer 10

Just pay attention to what you feel is right or wrong. .... Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing ...

Answer 11

No, i dont think it is wrong to praise yourself at all because if you have done something well or achieved a goal of some kind, by praising yourself you are giving yourself positive vibes and making yourself feel good for your efforts. Why shouldn't we all praise ourself once in a while? especially if we feel that we have earnt it...

Answer 12

Not if its due.  Its only wrong to get a big head about it.
