Do you struggle with taking compliments? Or is the impost still to change the subject before a compliment can be delivered. Whatever needs to be done to deflect, deflect, deflect.
🎧 This episode gets into 'discounting the positives."
There are some moms out there that can relate to this especially mine.
It's basic, yet a hard habit to break.
🎧 Here is one simple exercise I've learned: Catch it, Check it, Change it
🎧 Next social settings (zoom call), give it a try. The steps are below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Catch it: Hearing a compliment, getting that anxiety that leads to deflection. Even slight panic.
2)Check it: Breath at that moment. Listen.
Let them finish.
3) Change it: Thank you.
That's it. No matter how many times I've heard this...it's still an exercise I come back to from time to time.
Practicing this one exercise can make compliments way less painful😉
Everything I share is based on my own mental health, some of which you may find useful as you continue on your journey.
