How TO Be Positive About YOurself

2/28/2020

For many of us it can be hard to sit in our truth and be kind to ourselves.
⠀⠀
I’ve had this photo and general post concept sitting in my draft section for months. I just couldn’t find the courage to be real and say something positive about myself but it seems like #fearlessfriday is a good time to step out of my comfort zone.
⠀⠀
Recently one of my clients reached a point of termination with her therapy process. She and I reflected on her growth during the therapeutic process and marveled at her new found strength. Just as she was about to leave, she thanked me and told me I was the best therapist she had ever had. She told me I am
⠀⠀
“kind but tough” and “gentle but fierce”
⠀⠀
Her words have sat with me ever since then for they are an amazing compliment. They are words that describe exactly who I want to be - not just for my clients but also for myself, my family, and my friends.
⠀⠀
But they are not words that I would have used to describe myself.
⠀⠀
At the end of a lot of my graduate classes, I have my students write words of praise, admiration, and appreciation for each other. Then I have each student sit in the center of the room (or in the center of the screen for online classes) and listen as I read to them what their peers have said about them. It is so hard for most people to sit in that space.
⠀⠀
So, on this #fearlessfriday - tell me and tell each other what you admire about yourself. What are you proud of? What is a positive trait that you embody?
