Hi Everyone,
Yesterday, I shared a post that unpacked the difference between respect and dignity. If you haven’t read it yet, you can do so here.
I also have an update regarding the incident with the grocery store cashier. If you haven’t read that one, you can do so here. Understanding the difference between respect and dignity changed my perspective on what to do about it. Watch the video above to hear my ah-ha moment.
For today’s chit-chat, I invite you to practice discovering your dignity within by offering yourself a do-over. I’m curious: “What small, itty-bitty thing are you holding on to that could be re-framed as a do-over?”
For example, the other day, I forgot to pick up Kushal from school. One day a week is early release and he gets out a half-hour early. I forgot what day it was. 🤦🏼♀️ I felt terrible and that my actions were disrespectful to both the school and Kushal. Yet, re-framing it as a do-over allowed me to correct the action. Now, an alert on my phone lets me know when it’s early release. I’m not a terrible mom, just worthy of a do-over.
I look forward to hearing what comes up for you. Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below. Enjoy the chit-chat!
