Whilst sitting on the bus today, I couldn't help but hear a conversation, she was talking about herself in a very disempowering way. The conversation went something like this..
"I tried a sun hat on and my daughter said I looked like a fat-cow'
"so I didn't get it, I know Iam fat"
"this traffic is horrible, would you drive instead"
"no, cars take too much money, rego, insurance, new tyres, service, they guzzle too much money'
"I have to smoke in hiding, so my daughter doesn't see me, she doesn't like it when I smoke, I do want to give up, but I have been a smoker since I was 15!, it is a habit now, all it takes is the first one and then I am hooked''
I was amazed that people have conversations like this, they give their power away, do not have much self belief and blame the external for their predicament. I didn't hear any compliments, positive language, it was all gloom and doom.
And it is summer, the sun is shining and the air is clean, the bus is air conditioned and it is Friday, I mean there are so many reasons to be content, satisfied and happy.
Yet again there are people out there that do not see that, they see the gaps, the flip side and the negative, it makes their world go around.
Blaming others will not make you happier, you simply shift the energy you haven't cleared it, it just moved.
So be empowered to feel confident and beautiful no matter what shape you are in!

Of course, that's easier said than done without help from someone who can guide, like a life coach.

Blaming is a lazy habit that seems well explained by the 'controlling parent' notion in Transactional analysis, If you continually believe others to be not Ok and yourself as Ok then humility flies out the window
