Accepting Compliments | by Madisyn Taylor Many of us find it difficult to accept compliments but easy to believe the slightest criticism. Today, right now, let's make a choice to fully accept compliments as we would a gift. Sincere compliments are gifts of praise. They are kudos given for wise choices or accomplishments or perhaps for just letting your light shine. There is no reason not to accept the gift of a kind word, but some of us argue against them, even giving reasons why they aren't true. If we visualize the energy of a compliment, we would see beautiful, shining, positive energy being sent from the giver. That energy, if accepted graciously, would brighten our personal energy field. Our gratitude then returns to the giver as warm, fuzzy, glowing energy, completing an even circuit of good feelings. But if we reject a compliment, what could have been a beautiful exchange becomes awkward and uncomfortable, making it a negative experience instead. Misplaced modesty can ruin the joy of sharing this connection with another person. But we can accept a compliment and still be modest by simply saying "thank you." However, if compliments are rejected due to a lack of self-esteem, then the first step would be to start believing good things about yourself. Try giving yourself compliments in the mirror. Beyond the initial feelings of silliness, you will notice how good it feels and can watch the smile it puts on your face. The next step would be to see how it feels to give compliments to others. Notice how great you feel when you've made another person's face brighten and how differently you feel when the gift you've offered is rejected. Having experienced all sides, you will be ready to play along fully and willingly. We are our harshest critics. When we accept compliments, we are reminded that others see us through different eyes. All living beings crave positive attention, and we all deserve to have positive energy shared with us. Perhaps if we happily and gratefully accept compliments, we will give others permission to do so as well. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Teri Uktena Everyone on this planet has a purpose -- a reason for being here that goes beyond survival, goes beyond immediate family. We all have a purpose that we are uniquely suited for and which improves ourselves, the lives of others, and the Universe at large. This purpose can lead us towards our best and highest selves and help us leave a legacy behind so that we are known and remembered lovingly after we are gone. Each of us knows there is a purpose to our lives, and yet we can spend a lifetime trying to define what it is. The Akashic Records holds a record or book for every soul that has ever existed. That book is not only a history of everything the soul has ever done, but is also a guide to the purpose of that soul in this lifetime. It is a record of all the guidance that the soul's spiritual advisers gave during preparation for this life as well as a resource for help along the way and support for succeeding. This course lifts the veil of secrecy on how to access your Soul Book in the Akashic Library including instructions on grounding techniques, a how to guide on creating sacred space wherever you are, audio guided meditations to help you experience the wisdom of your Soul Book, and detailed discussions of how you can achieve the greatest rewards from your readings in order to become the best possible you in this life.
