Some essential tips to optimize the benefits while minimizing the drawbacks of self-praise.

 

Be specific: Instead of generic self-praise, try to focus on acknowledging and highlighting specific achievements or skills.

Be realistic: Avoid exaggerating your accomplishments. Stay grounded in reality to maintain authenticity.

Be genuine: Only offer self-praise when it is warranted and sincere. Empty compliments lack meaning and can undermine credibility.

Be humble: While it is essential to recognize and celebrate personal achievements, it is equally important to remain humble and open to continued growth.
