We were given an exercise to write down our compassionate whispers to ourselves....meaning kind words we tell ourselves.
Since the topic was perfectionism, I immediately projected back to competition days.
this was my painful cry because I used to equate it to self worth
My awareness has helped me
Vigilance is still crucial
Turns out even the greatest
have this imperfection to deal with
Oprah facing a crisis with her network
found herself repeating a prayer
"In God I move and breathe and have my being"
she then reminded herself
"this isn't who you are and don't get that confused"
(Huffington Post: April 8, 2012, Marianne Schnall)
So our exercise was to do up compassionate whispers for ourselves
So I started jotting down whatever jumped into my head
it started more like a voice
then a whisper
then an insight
then a reminder that makes me smile
Now I am laughing as I put the voice up
If anyone would like a lesson in humility and strengthening their courage and vulnerabilities
try posting something fallible about yourself.
So much easier putting up the polished "I have got it all together answer"
so here goes
The Voice In Response To I'm Not Winning
Now I am still laughing
I can hear my loving sister
"Oh Brother, I'll pray for you"
(words I have heard throughout my life during those eye brow raising moments)
No need this time, Sis
for those asking what is the matter with this
I'll pray
for those of you who cannot relate to this
Be Thankful
for those laughing
Thank You
next is
The Compassionate Whisper
Well you can see things were improving
and then came an insight
and finally
a reminder that makes me smile

What is your compassionate whisper today?
