Second Step To Wellness Within: What We WANT Others To See

Welcome back to another 'Wellness Within' segment! If you couldn't join in on the last exercise, no worries. These steps aren't easy! And I'm doing them right along with you so I 'get' it. It's really hard delving into areas we have always avoided or are afraid of. But it's all part of becoming who we're meant to be and reaching our Wellness Within.

Last time, I suggested taking a picture of yourself and naming at least 10 things that you saw in yourself, ingoring all the negatives you think you see. I got some great feedback! So I thought today we could do an exercise where you list what you'd really like others to see in you, focusing again on all the good stuff. Here we're going a bit deeper...beyond what others see...and right to the heart of you.

Like before, I'll go first. Ready?

Okay. I'm using the same picture as last time because, well, it's one of the few on my own without my kids. (HA!) Here we go:

1) I'm stronger than I seem.
2) I'm smarter than I let others see.
3) I'm scared of success but use that to motivate me to keep forging ahead.
4) I have a bottomless heart.
5) I fear love but I love deeply.
6) My kids mean everything to me.
7) I'm not afraid to stand up for myself, those I love the most or something I believe in.
8) I am a strong ally.
9) I have a wicked sense of humour.
10) I care.

Well, that's my list. What can you see in your heart? What good would you love others to see more of in you? Please share.

That's it for this time. I hope your Monday went well.
