Today I will celebrate each time I soften when my first instinct is to harden
What a great challenge for me! I tend to be a perfectionist and a person who doesn’t like to rock the boat. Don’t annoy people, don’t act up, make sure you behave yourself...all to avoid conflict and drawing negative attention to yourself. But here is the issue with no negative attention, it needs to be there to balance out the positive. If you don’t allow for some of the negatives, some of the lows then you don’t learn about making the positive actions or worse yet, the lows become all bundled up and go really low.
I am going to start softening to the lows for myself and those beside me so there is room to balance out. As the book put it to eye all of the colors so they. Might take my breath away. A softer voice, a softer approach...it will allow time and room for the lows. It will also add room for personality and connection and authenticity. I am not perfect and neither is anyone else. We are all here to grow and become our best selves. So am going to take a softer approach to let that person shine and fail and be ok with whatever shows up because I know it will be on the path to better and take my breath away.
