Looks like we’re both on the same page here Julia. So glad the article resonated and that you’ve been able to promote more positive responses with your family.
This really resonated with me sue. I do body pump and the only way i can see if I’m lifting weights or doing a squat correctly is by looking in the mirror. I also think this is easier as i age. I decided a few years ago to accept a compliment and even now i have to stop saying things like “I’ve had that for ages’. I too like to stop people and give compliments but i also try not to single out an item of clothing preferring to say things like you look so well/happy/cool and you’re right it does make people feel good -including me! I also think we can impact on our children’s future outlook in this respect for example there was a lot of talk (and still is) about vanity in my past and i have always made a point of complimenting my children and now granddaughter when they have made the effort to dress for the occasion.
Fabulous motivational piece. I believe change is exciting. Every decade I have made the necessary adjustments to go forward in life looking my very best. I hardly look back as there is nothing I can change. I just embrace life's lessons along the way. Thank you for your brilliant work.
Thank you Clarisse. This is so good to hear. All decades bring different experiences and I know this one, for me, is the best so far. It’s great to hear that you personally don’t need to look back but accept what was there. I tend to agree. Moving forward and changing as required is a great way to live
