Day 4 AIR Where are you now in your life?

I'm in a beautiful place.

Every sentence at the start of this chapter reflected back to me the work I've been doing with my coach the last 18 months. It was beautiful.

I was hesitant to do two postings in one day but when I read through Day 4 and realized I've been observing myself keenly through coaching I knew I had something to learn and share.

My coach and I discussed compliments today. I don't take them very well and always felt like a barrier was being placed before me with each compliment I would receive. I learned today that a compliment is someone's way of connecting to me. Reaching out with something warm and inviting in their hearts. I learned that what people admire about me may be an area of stress or challenge for them and that I should be humbled by their gift, not see it as a barrier-building-move.

With every session, with every willingness on my part to look within I become the Sacred Observer. I like that.

I love and accept who I am...and who I am is enough.

You are an awesome lady - You seem to have the ability to really put the daily exercises to good use. I always feel like I didn't quite get it.

I know what you mean about compliments - whenever I get a compliment, that nasty inner voice whispers stuff like "They don't know the real you." - it is hard to accept them for what they truly are.
