The relationship you have with yourself influences every room you enter.
STILLNESS
STILLNESS
How you treat yourself is not confined to private hours. It shows up in what you expect from people, how you interpret ambiguity, how much you apologise, whether you can take a compliment or a criticism. Every room you enter, you bring the terms of that internal relationship with you.
Notice one way your self-regard is currently showing up socially. Perhaps you assume you are a burden, or you overcorrect by needing to be impressive. Then work on it at the source rather than at the symptom, because the social version will keep reappearing until the underlying terms change.
What do you usually tell yourself before walking into a room?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
