Coaching Corner: You do you!!
By Marilou Butcher Roth, Master Coach
Have you ever been in a situation where you find yourself comparing yourself to someone else? Come on, you can admit it! Perhaps it was about their physical appearance, or about their sports prowess? Someone being or doing something that prompted a bit of jealousy perhaps?
Here’s the thing -- we can admire certain qualities in others, and when we bring in thoughts of envy, it only hurts us.
Today, I am keeping things short and sweet! This post is an invitation for you to find and appreciate YOU! No one, and I mean no one can be a better version of you. Each of us are beautifully unique, filled with individual qualities to bring forth into the world.
So start small if need be -- even if it seems silly. What do you find desirable about yourself? What qualities make you who you are? Identifying these qualities and learning to bring appreciation to each of them will take you to places you can’t even imagine. Open to this process, find those qualities!
Today, identify at least three qualities about you that you can appreciate. Then tomorrow do it again -- and so on! And remember that no one does you better than YOU!!
