A very good friend and mentor of mine manages to teach me when she’s not intending to teach me. I can simply observe her and the lessons come.
One sunny, summer morning whilst visiting our favourite café, in the simple retelling of a story, I noticed something that she did. She complimented herself. She said, “I’m really proud of myself.” There was also a pattern of saying, ‘Do you know what I’m good at…’ and then finishing it with a strength of hers.
There is no amount of ego or ounce of conceitedness about her. She simply gave herself credit where credit was due. And she is a highly successful woman. The two relate.
Now remember what I said about language and vibration and what that can do to your system? (Click here for a reminder.)
Imagine if you were gratituding all over yourself?
I don’t think we’re taught to do this enough. Especially women – we’re often taught to acknowledge others before ourselves. What about giving ourselves love? What about filling our receptivity cups first so that we can have stores and energy to give to others?
So, here’s your challenge if you choose to accept it. At the beginning of each day, write down a strength of yours and during the day, say it OUT LOUD to someone. Start with any variation of, ‘I’m good/magnificent/amazing at…’ (No BUTS.)
This may feel uncomfortable at first, but trust me; it feels quite normal after a while.
Start by doing this for just 7 days. (And if you’re able, go for more.)
And let our community know how you’re feeling every step of the way!
Why not start now? In the comments below, let us know one of your strengths right now. Be bold and put it out there. I’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines whilst you do it.
With love
Lynda
