positive gossip

Once, I can't remember for sure who or where, someone proposed that as an exercise in self-knowledge, we gossip about ourselves in front of the mirror.

I invite you to allow yourself to do this exercise, but highlighting only the things you consider to be qualities, gossip positively about yourself.

Realize your potential, the beautiful and abundant things you are capable of doing, draw attention to the parts of your body that you find attractive, your charms, charms, feelings and incredible sensations that you are able to move.

Highlight the things you've done that have positively impacted other people's lives. Remember times when you were able to welcome someone in a loving way, the times you distributed and provoked smiles, shared words, looks, gestures and loving actions...

Think back to the times you were able to change the subject when someone in your midst was bad-mouthed, when you were able to say words of enthusiasm where there were regrets, the times you took responsibility, admitted your mistakes and learned from them.

Appreciate your good humor, the nice things you do with the people you love, the difference you make in the world with your work, in your relationships and with your presence, wherever you are.

Celebrate your overcomings, your difficulties overcome along the journey, each success you achieved in building your story.

Talk about your priorities and review what you believe should or shouldn't be maintained or transmuted, but without weights and judgments.

And try to make a brief description of how you perceive yourself in the near future, a little more distant and distant.

Continue the gossip, but now about other people, start talking about the people you love the most and who love you too, who are your safe haven. Tell us about how important they are in your life, sustain you, make your heart rejoice. Say what you admire in each one of them, remember delicious stories and verbalize them.

Exercise now your ability to see characteristics that you consider cool in people you live with in your daily life, but who always perceive them with low energy, complaining about something, weighing the environment. Highlight their qualities and find positive points in their lives.

Proceed with the exercise, but now thinking about people with whom you have a huge difficulty seeing something positive in them, those people who we usually say “don't hit” with our energy. I know it's not easy, but try to find something small that you consider its value.

We can do this about where we live, where we work, the places we visit, the spaces we find...

Now, realize how much you are able to see beauty even where you once thought there was none.

We are often culturally taught to complain, to speak ill of others, to ridicule, to cast a demanding and critical look at other people and ourselves. To reduce ourselves and not be able to recognize our many potentials. We can change this way of looking at things, people, life. By no means am I saying that we should turn a blind eye to injustices, inequalities, unhealthy conditions... But that we can see beauty and contribute to making the path we pass more beautiful.
