I have a challenge for anyone reading this: Try your best not to say bad things about yourself for an entire week. This means no self insults. You can extend the challenge for a longer period of time of course if you want to. The idea is to stop putting ourselves down. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy. The Lord would have us be encouraging, even to ourselves. It's good for us. 

For example: if you usually call yourself a name after making a mistake like, "I'm such a dork." Instead maybe try saying, "Oh my goodness. I can't believe I did that." Don't be unnecessarily hard on yourself.

Try to celebrate even the smallest things in life and recognize the good about yourself.
