Sometimes the journey to and through transition can get damned rocky, we often feel bombarded by the put downs and barbs of strangers, associates or, worse still, people who are close to us (not the least from our own worst critic... our self). But people also say nice and encouraging things to us all the time, yet depending on our frame of mind we can often dismiss them as insincere words of pity or, worse, delusion. Too often we hang onto the mean, nasty or spiteful stuff while treating the supportive and kind words as insubstantial fluff and letting them slip away.
Kind words have a hundred times the power of any nasty put down, so let's collect them and remember them!
For example, last week I heard that a female work colleague had referred to me, positively, as an "honorary woman"...that just made me feel so awesome, it made my day, my week.
Yesterday my electrolosist told me she thought I had a lovely female aura, this was while I had 32 tiny probes stuck in my beardy face. It was a compliment freely given and I thought it was a really nice thing for her to say...it certainly made me feel better about myself after the three hour session when I saw my red, swollen face in the mirror.
So... what nice thing did someone say to
you today?
