Just a thought about why it would be worth acknowledging yourself. The other day I realised that I was pushing away a person that I really liked, respected and had fun with just because she was not meeting my need of telling me that I was good enough.
I had not appreciated my feelings of how much this affected me and I felt hurt and let down by the person, who poor thing was totally oblivious to this of course. Because I did not want to hurt her and tell her how I was feeling because I felt foolish so I just started avoiding her, which is silly because I really enjoy her company.
So I went on to think about what was occurring for me and what had changed. I came up with the insight as mentioned above and now I see that. I genuinely have given myself compassion, am extremely grateful for the learning and can now practice acknowledging myself so that I dont push away people that I care about.
This gives me great motivation to get my stuff together, with absolute compassion and know that I have so many teachers/mirrors out there, that if I dont get it this time I will the next.
Ta Da! List :
- I will credit myself for allowing myself to see this
- I will congratulate myself on not beating myself up
- I iwll acknowledge that I am absolutely good enough and getting better at doing this
I Get To :
- I will celebrate by contacting this person and arranging time together
Ok this will do for me now. I hope it is useful to someone else.
