Hello Followers,

Welcome to Tuesday!

It is the Holly Jolly Season.

And the most wonderful time of the year.

As we reflect on the past year and the last holiday of the year, may you celebrate Christmas joy, an inner joy of light and peace.

This year was a melody of small wins and big smiles for Dan and me.

Each piece makes the picture unforgettable.

The best parts of the year were not just events, but the joy, growth, and laughter they carried.

Every highlight was a reminder that even in ordinary days, extraordinary moments can shine through.

The highlights were not just memories, they were milestones of how far Dan and I have come.

May you also reflect on your milestones, big or small, and continue to make the ordinary days, extraordinary ones that shine this coming year 2026.

This coming month of December, Dan and I are going to reflect on the coming posts on positive vibes and heal our inner self.

Highlighting some of our mini-inspirational videos from the past with messages to overcome the touch times in our lives and make them extraordinary.

MESSAGE:

Learn to accept compliments and criticisms.

It takes both sun and rain for a flower to grow.

This message captures the need for balance in both personal and professional growth.

Like a flower that thrives through the nurturing sun and the refreshing rain, we too need both positive feedback and constructive criticism to truly flourish.

We believe that when a person has an innate sense of self-worth, both compliments and criticism become easy to hear, absorb, and accept.

When a compliment is given, and the recipient does not feel it is warranted because of what they believe in themselves, it might make them feel uneasy.

This is as though the compliment is a reminder of the ways in which they are not living up to their own impossible standards.

However, when criticism is given to someone who struggles with self-worth, the recipient may lack the confidence required to have the open heart and mind to hear this feedback.

Once again, it is a reminder of the ways in which they are not living up to their own impossible standards.

If you are anything like Dan and I, having grace for yourself is often easier said than done.

However, not focusing on the actual compliments or criticism themselves, but instead focusing on building up your own sense of individual worth.

How do I do this?

By actively practicing being your own best friend.

What does this mean?

It means that when you think or say something negative about yourself, put on your best friend’s hat and rewind.

Ask yourself how I would respond if someone were to say those very same words about one of my nearest and dearest friends?

You would probably defend them to the ends of the earth and so engage in that exact same inner dialogue on behalf of yourself.

It means playing the compliment game we tend to play with our besties when we see them for the first time.

You know what we are talking about!

You compliment them on their wonderful traits!

So, in the spirit of being your own best friend, try to do the same thing for yourself.

Every night before bed, reflect on how you made yourself proud that day.

Also pay yourself a daily compliment and ask yourself how you could have done better.

Ask yourself if there is somewhere you went wrong or a way that you could be doing more?

Always answer the question without holding back, and your inner best friend thanks you for it.

Try it!

And you will begin to heal.

No one can give you permission to be yourself except you.

In this meditation you will do just that with some inner journeying and energy work to help recognize your deepest self-love.

Come out of this refreshed, alive, and more deeply connected to the freedom of being yourself.

You deserve it!

Until Wednesday, your value is not measured by who notices you,

but by how deeply you notice yourself.
