How do you treat yourself?
I know that this is something that I have talked about before, so bear with me as I prepare my soapbox… I hope you are settled comfortably; this could take some time! You do not have the right to treat yourself like shit… Are you hearing me? You. Do. Not. Have. The. Right. To. Treat. Yourself. Like. Shit! I spend so much of my time with other people. Whether I am networking, teaching, working at my clinic or just generally chatting (I like to talk) I am often taken aback at how people talk about themselves. They might be apologising for something completely trivial, saying sorry over every little thing. Making themselves appear smaller than they are, like they don’t have the right to take up space. Criticizing the great work, they have done (especially my students/clients) or passing credit over to another person. What is going on? Why do we feel this almost subconscious need to deflect positive comments or immediately re-assign the compliment or positive remark to so
