There is a notion that praise is generally good for other people’s well-being. However, praise can actually be counterproductive if it causes the person to attach their worth and self-image to it. Below is an article from Dr. Margaret Holmes that I would like to invite you to read.
What Praise Helps and What Praise Harms?

Apparently, those who have a calm assurance in themselves are those who have found a means of self-expression. This was something I read in an article yesterday. While I can’t vouch for the absolute truth of this statement, I do believe that self-disclosure is a very important component of our ‘becoming’ as human beings.
Self-disclosure allows [...]
One good thing about good ties is that they are always invigorating and repleneshing when you bring them back. Energetic connections with people with whom you’ve had good relationships and happy moments with bring about an exchange of nourishing energies when you get together.
I recently saw a concert performed by the choir I belong to. [...]
When I was a teenager (and I’m still somewhere near that age group…haha) I kept thinking that maybe the only way I could ever truly get rid of my depression was to start living life a bit more intensely. So how would I do that?

Sarah Ban Breathnach, in her book Something More, talks about trading in Scared for the Sacred. Before we go on, I would like to invite you to write down or ponder the answers - your answers - to these questions:
1. What are your greatest fears? List at least three.
2. What are your dreams that you have always [...]
What’s the most difficult emotion for you to deal with? Is it anger or loneliness? Is it apathy, depression, fear?
Whatever it is, take a few minutes to sit down and sort of ‘get in touch’ with that emotion. Go as far back as you can and think about the first time or the earliest time [...]
This is a little exercise that I stumbled upon during one of my quiet moments. Supposing - just supposing - that I could write down my wishes and they could come true? What would those wishes be? Simply write them down.
I know some of you may be skeptical. Others may be thinking that some of [...]
