Why Is It So Hard to Receive Kind Words?

Have you ever received a beautiful compliment and felt yourself tense up, get embarrassed, or immediately want to brush it off? I started thinking about this while listening to one of my own meditations. There was a time when even saying positive things to myself didn't necessarily feel good. The words were beautiful, but receiving them was another story. In this video, I share part of my own experience with affirmations, the words I grew up hearing, and something I learned years ago through my relationship with my son: sometimes the change we're looking for in someone else begins with changing the way we show up. Our words matter—not only the words we speak to ourselves, but the ones we give to the people we love. So I'll leave you with the same questions I ask in this video: What beautiful words are you waiting to hear? And what beautiful words might you be holding inside that someone else needs to hear from you?
