Lesson 217: Check In WEEK 31 - Validating

The week saw us looking into the power of validation. Our words and actions impact others but also people’s words and actions impact us. If we create a good environment through complimenting others, can you see how that can turn someone else’s mood around and also uplift yours? If we’re always negative, we spread that around, just like if we’re positive that spreads around too. People feed off good compliments and it brings people into a positive space.

When I had to think of 50 good qualities of myself, it was actually difficult to think of things that weren’t repeated. I got there in the end but I really had to think about it.

Everything we do has an impact on not only ourselves and our mindset, but that of others. If we continue to recognise people’s great qualities, it allows them to be validated and effects their words and actions towards themselves and others. It’s creating a ripple effect of goodness.

Lesson 211: Your Universe Talking

““You look. . . mahvelous!” —Fernando (aka Billy Crystal)
That is your universe talking.
Take it in.”

— Stephanie Bennett Vogt

I’ve been away for a week because I just felt so exhausted and I was placing a lot of pressure on myself to blog every day with these posts that it just wasn’t enjoyable. I was getting run down and I just didn’t want this on myself. I want my blog posts to be fun and a natural extension of me – not something forced because I have to do it. I was getting sick so I decided to take a break and resume this lesson when I felt good again.

New week equals a new theme and this week we have “Validating”. I very much feel like this is a bit of soul searching and validating the good things within self or your immediate environment. I think it may also be a lesson in gratitude possibly. Do away with negative speak and focus on the positive but also accept the positive. We also don’t need others to validate us when we should be doing this by ourselves. I feel this week might be a focus on how we can uplift ourselves. Let’s see how it goes.
