Last week I was encouraging you to look less critically at
your body, to stop finding fault with its individual parts and embrace its
beauty.
Just like everything in the universe, we do have dark and light, yin
and yang, strengths and weaknesses…lets just call them areas for development or
‘change points”.
No one is perfect and that is the wonder of our individual uniqueness
but most of us are on a path of growth, a path of personal development in which
it is equally important to be kind and generous with yourself as it is to be
gently critical. I know that if you are choosing to grow and evolve you want to
be a better person than you were yesterday. To be of service to others and to
yourself there are likely to be characteristics or tendencies or habits that
you want to improve.
As with everything, balance is the key and making choices to improve
areas of your life, your attitude or your body should be done with discretion.
Some things are as they are, and the effort required to change is not worth the
pain of changing.
Maybe what you think is a design fault is actually what makes you
unique and is what other people admire. Have you ever been complimented for something
about yourself that you hate? I often get comments on my skin…I think my face
is freckly and sun damaged and I am always bemused by these compliments. Go figure!
When identifying areas for improvement, be that physical, attitude, or
personality, be clear on whether this is something you want to change, that you need
to change, or indeed that you can
change.
Don’t waste time and precious energy focusing on things you don’t like
but are really wonderful weakness
that make you who you are. For it is these weaknesses that we so often grow
into as we mature and strangely come to be proud of.
I always down on myself for my inability to focus on any one hobby,
interest or idea and I admired people who had singular focus on their path in
life. While I still admire those people I have come to realise that my ‘flitting
around’ has led me to have an eclectic, vast array of knowledge and ability to
see many different points of view. I like being eclectic.
So consider parts of yourself or your life that are worth developing
and improving and set about changing them with love. And the rest…well embrace
your oddities and just be who you are.
Stay groovy
