Many professionals feel relief rather than pride upon completing projects, leading to a cycle of dissatisfaction and unappreciated achievements. Clinical psychologist Dr. Chu Hui Cha emphasizes the importance of celebrating accomplishments for mental health and self-esteem. Fear of failure can drive individuals to tie their self-worth to their achievements, inducing anxiety and pressure during their work. This relentless pursuit often results in feeling only relief after success, rather than a sense of achievement. Experts discuss how recognizing and taking pride in one's wins is essential to break this cycle of chronic unhappiness.
Pride in achievements is crucial for mental health, self-esteem, and the ability to tackle future challenges, contrasting with chronic dissatisfaction from neglecting these feelings.
Fear of failure ties self-worth to achievements, intensifying anxiety and pressure, ultimately leading to relief upon success rather than celebrating accomplishments.
The inability to celebrate victories might result from viewing success as a test of personal worth, leading to a relentless cycle of aiming higher without appreciation.
Experts suggest that chronic unhappiness stems from not acknowledging successes; it is vital to transition from relief to genuine pride in accomplishments.
