2022-12-0524 minKOPE LifeWhy It's Hard to Accept ComplimentsYou are the reason why it is hard for you to accept compliments. Listen to this episode to dive deeper into how your own self-doubt and hyper self-criticism create a barrier to accepting genuine, heart-felt compliments from people who truly want to encourage and support you, and possibly draw closer to you. Then we can talk about how elevating your self-acceptance is the key to you being open to the optimism, positivity, encouragement, support and love from others. You deserve it. They aren't lying to you. They mean what they say. You truly are special.
