Does anyone tell you that you are useless?

Do you think you are not worthy enough?

-- In life, we all face both ups and downs. Sometimes we reach the sky of happiness and sometimes we fall in to the black hole of darkness. There is not a single person in this world who have not experienced both brighter and darker sides of life. We discuss a lot about the toxicity of life, how we have faced the darkness and obstacles of life. This volume of darkness is quite thick for some people while some others experience this for a while. We usually feel very suffocated because of this toxicity.

-- In this blog, I am going to suggest an innovative way to deal with all toxicity that make you believe that, " you are not worthy". As I have mentioned earlier, I love to read good content on different platforms. While reading a content on Medium, I saw one writer wrote about this "folder of praise". Though that article was on a different topic which I was gong to skip without reading, but these three words attracted my attention. I went through that article and liked that concept of "folder of praise" a lot. I believe, it will be very helpful to deal with all negativities of life.

What is a "Folder of praise"?

-- "Folder of praise" is an innovative way to collect all your good and positive memories. You can also gather all the appreciations you have got till date. In fact, you have to arrange all the positivity of your life to one place.

How can you make your own "Folder of praise"?

You can make this anywhere and anytime. Create a new folder on your laptop or phone and name it as "Folder of Praise". Then, take screenshots or pictures of all the people who have appreciated you for your work. Starting from an appreciation e-mail to a positive comment on your social media post, starting from your first job selection e-mail to a thumbs-up of your profile picture, you can take pictures of all these and arrange it in a folder of your own.

What is the use of "Folder of praise"?

-- In the present time, we all are facing too much negativity in our life. We come across many people who won't think twice to demotivate you. Sometimes this negativity affects us without our knowledge. it doesn't matter how many times we think that, we won't get carried away with this negativity, but it already has started affecting us slowly and silently. Otherwise, we must not be even wasting our time to make sure not to pay attention to these negative thoughts or people. At that time, all you have to do is, just open your "folder of praise" and spend your time reading the appreciations you have earned through your good work or behaviour. If your time is getting consumed, then why not to spend it while cherishing your good memories. It will give you more strength to fight in your difficult time. It will be beneficial to grab your decreasing confidence. If you don't want to have a "folder of praise" on your phone or laptop, then you can print all of these and arrange in a actual folder that you can even hold and keep in front of your eyes all the time. Some of you may think, "what is the advantage of this if it can't erase all negativity or darkness from our life?" Though it will not erase your difficulties, but it will make you stronger so that you will be able to overcome your difficulties.

Thanks for reading.
