‘If you put yourself in a box, you are in that box.’
On July 24, Sharon Ho, Managing Director, Digitas,ended our 2022/ 2023 season with a vulnerable sharing of self-gratitude. She advocates self-gratitude practice as actively and vocally thanking yourself, caring for your inner child, and appreciating your achievements.
Event Takeaways
1. Learning to Parent Yourself as an Adult
Just imagine if you are your parent, your mom/ dad and how you would look after yourself in such a manner.
Practising saying thank you starts with daily practice. It’s not about creating a million-dollar business; you can thank yourself for many things, such as your beautiful soul and being kind to someone who annoyed you. This conscious choice builds an ecology: you respond positively and the ecology turns into something rewarding.
This is the first step to self-gratitude.

3. Setting ‘Me Time’
Setting aside ‘Me time’ is very important, this is a time for yourself.
Sometimes we can lose ourselves to peer pressure and other external factors, making ‘Me time’ creates the space to detach from the exterior to reflect inwards. In this period, there is a clear space to improve, regain autonomy and connect with yourself.
Me time can be activated in many ways, such as golfing, attending a concert, reading a book, taking a course. It’s also about caring for your inner child who wants to learn, play and explore! Spend time on things that keep you focused, delighted, and energized! Enjoy your ‘me time’!
