Perfectionism - Handle All Hearts With Care

 

 

Including our own

 

 



Compassionate Whispers

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
