Are you talking to me?
Oh, is that my issue?
No, that can’t be me! How come everyone keeps telling me that!?
Hearing something we may not like, we’ve got choices. We can blame the messenger, we can deny what’s being offered, we can beat ourselves up about it, or maybe we can look for any shred of truth in it.
Right! Don’t shoot the messenger. Also, sometimes the messenger is your own body. When nagging health issues come up, your body is saying, “Pay attention!” (took me awhile to learn this one)
