Wat een #GEWELDIG blog. Over de simpele reden dat #complimenten moeilijk te #accepteren zijn, omdat we dat wat iemand in ons ziet, we zelf niet #waarderen… Hierbij – in het Engels – de opmerking die ik bij dit geweldige blog geplaatst heb:
“Wow Nicole, what a perfect timing for me to read this blog. I’ve been wondering (but not taking the time to feel into it) why I can allow certain #compliments in and others not. And also some days I can, some days I can’t. After reading your blog it is actually so super simple as well as obvious. Every quality within me that isn’t honoured, appreciated by myself, yet is seen by someone else – I would dismiss. Rather than taking a deep #breath, feel the #joy of the #connection someone made and accept it in full. Yesterday a friend complimented me on the ‘professional way’ I was with her before a session #Esoteric #Healing. A different approach as what she’s experiencing when we’re friends. How lovely to get this feedback, supporting my own confidence, just by a confirmation. Thank you Nicole – you’re #naturalness, #innocence and deep care of and #love for humanity by sharing this, are deeply #appreciated.”
Why is it so hard to accept, really accept a compliment?
You would think that accepting a compliment from someone would be easy, something nice said to you or about you, but do we really stop to allow ourselves to feel what is being shared with us about ourselves?
This is something I have been recently observing in myself. Someone offers me a compliment, and I quickly say thank you, brushing it off like it was said in gest, a fleeting moment, or simply to be polite, or better (worse!) yet I go into an explanation of why I may look good, or why my hair is incredibly amazing on that day.
