I never feel adequate

no matter what anyone says, I never feel like I'm good enough. whether it's my job, or whatever. I should listen to Louise Hay more often:

How to Love Yourself - Louise Hay

STOP ALL CRITICISM. Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.

DON'T SCARE YOURSELF. Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It's a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.

BE KIND TO YOUR MIND. Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don't hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.

PRAISE YOURSELF. Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.

there is more. I just have to remind myself about this stuff. it's difficult to praise myself, at least it's difficult for me. especially when it comes to my job. my boss is always praising me and telling me what a good job I'm doing. I just don't always feel this way. I always feel like I could be doing things better and that I'm never good enough. I must stop this kind of thinking.
