When someone praises you, pass some of it back to the people who helped. It holds up better that way.

Praise arrives pointed at one person even when the work was not. Taking all of it is easy and slightly inaccurate, and that inaccuracy is what makes it wobble later. Passing some back is not modesty, it is a truer description of what actually happened. It also makes the compliment sturdier, because now other people can confirm it.
When someone praises you this week, add one sentence naming who else was in it. Do it while they are still standing there, not in a message afterwards. Out loud is the part that counts.
Who helped with the thing you were praised for?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
