Tell Me More About You

Tell Me More About You

You are so interesting. You know that, right? The very fact of your existence, your own experiences, your thoughts, your talents, makes you special. Do you let others know how interesting you are? Do you have certain people with whom you share who you are?

We exist because we are important.

Now, I didn’t always know that. I use to think that I was a waste of air, and I really wanted to you think I wasn’t, so I tried to make myself invaluable to you. Poor me.

Why could I feel special? How would I know I matter? Why am I interesting?

We exist because what we are meant to do is important.

Now, I certainly didn’t always know that. It was another place where I wanted you to think well of me, so I worked my butt off to be indispensable. Boy, did I hate that kind of desperate feeling. Now for the most part, I work to please me. Even the boring work at work. I learned that if I found a reason to enjoy it, I could enjoy it. Isn’t that interesting.

What makes me feel useful? How could I know I matter? Why else am I interesting?

Part of feeling important for me has to do with feeling productive. I have a lot of interests, so I have a bunch of opportunities for feeling productive in a day. That’s nice.

How am I productive? What makes me feel accomplished? Why would I feel satisfied?

Part of feeling important for me is having loved ones whom I feel close to, I wondered about that for a long time; whether I had the capacity for intimacy. Now, I have very dear friends who mean the world to me. Some of them have been in my life for decades, others are relative new-comers, but have come to our friendship with open hearts and open minds. Being intimate with my friends, disclosing my important stuff, makes me feel important, and the fact that they listen to me, and disclose to me, well, that makes them important to me.

Part of feeling interesting for me is doing what I love. I love to meet people. I love to do stuff. I love to go places. When I do those things, I engage. When I engage, I have fun. I think that what I do is interesting, and sometimes you do, too, which is a nice bonus.

And the most important part of feeling important, you ask? I think, and this is just me, I think that my attitude is going to be the game changer.

When I feel strong, and competent, and capable, I also feel important, regardless of what is going on in my outside life.

Choosing to support myself is a dynamic and powerful thing. By deciding to ask myself these kinds of good questions whenever I think about, I am reprogramming my brain, unchoosing my old, bad questions, setting up an unconscious mind-set that supports me in every way.

How have I changed from thinking smack about myself to asking my powerful, good Creative Questions?
