When I was a child and was asked by the sports club where my father worked as a volunteer what I could give him for Christmas, my mother gave me the tip: aftershave, a very specific one. That's how I grew up with the idea that an aftershave was part of a shave. When I was ready to shave and tried out my father's aftershave lotion, my skin, sore from shaving, burned like fire. But that's how it had to be - that's what men did. So I lived with the fact that after a proper shave, the fiery burning of the aftershave was part of it. It was only later that I learned that it could also be a soothing cream that cared for the skin - without being considered a wimp if you used it instead of the alcohol-containing water. Do you perhaps also have such behavioural patterns that involve unnecessary torment of yourself and that could long ago be replaced by more life-friendly ones? Perhaps it is time to change them.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
