Are you comfy in your skin?
Hi guys,
Just back from T'ai Chi - I really love it - it's a fab way to recharge early in the week...
“The quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationships.”
I have been thinking about this quote a lot - and the fact that the most important relationship is the one with yourself.
If you aren't able to be your authentic self, warts and all, it can be a barrier to real connection with others and lasting wellbeing for yourself.
How do you feel about yourself? Are you happy in your skin?
Does your awareness of any flaws (we all have them) make you feel uncomfortable?
Me too.
As a (recovering) perfectionist I find this particularly tough... but am working on it!
The metaphor of the plate repaired with gold can be helpful here.
In this metaphor, derived from the Japanese art of Kintsugi, we are all the broken plate, we all have flaws, and we can repair them (though it may take some graft).
By repairing with gold we celebrate and embrace our flaws instead of hiding them.
We continue to function and enjoy our lives carrying our golden flaws with us.
How do you feel about your golden flaws?
