Stew and I do a couples exercise every week, and one of our popular ones is to share with each other, “What’s right about me.” I don’t believe it’s selfish or egotistical to do that but a necessary celebration of Self. Most of us entertain more negative self-talk and it’s important to re-groove our brain with new positive habitual thinking. Also, I’ve found it feels scrumptious when I remind myself how wonderful I am and to have Stew witness my proud declarations. Yes, I know very well how I often don’t measure up, and that can be important if I use the knowledge gently to see how I want to transform that. But I want to know my strengths just as intimately. I want to focus on what’s good within me so I can bring all those possibilities forward. I want to be the kind of person that is unashamed to shine my light and share my successes, so I can inspire others to do that as well. And a big part of that for me is overcoming perceived failures and admitting to my mistakes (to myself and/or to others), both ones I’ve actually made out in the world and the ones that are the secrets I hide in my head. I consider those successes as well. Then I am living from everyday wholeness...now that’s a celebration and I’m proud to share it with you. I invite you to share something you’re proud of, with me, here, or to someone else. It’s life-affirming, it’s free and it feels good, too. Today is a good day...and I make it so!
