What is Your Perception of You?

4/22/2011

0 Comments

 
Do you recall the last time your self perception was challenged by someone?  

I was just told by my dishwasher repairman that I am listed as an "Abusive User" on their service log by the last two repairmen that serviced my dishwasher. 

I gasped.  Declared him to be ridiculous.  Ranted about the poor design of my dishwasher and left the room, slightly grinning.

You may ponder the accuracy of the verdict, knowing that I've called for a repair three times this year.
The truth:  I learned I have a highly sensitive dishwasher that can't handle the slightest particle of food.  So my dear dishwasher truly feels abused.

In the end, being blind-sided by my dishwasher opened me up to the unknown possibility of other gaps in my perception of self. A little unsettling I must admit.

I decided this week, instead of cursing the low performing model, I would try to use the extra time required to pre-wash my plates before washing them.  I'm going to ask for openness in seeing the impacts I have on others and to be gentle with myself as I learn to do a better job finding the crumbs.

We spend so much time in front of the sink. I invite you to use that time as a moving meditation of sorts.  Take an honest look inward, invite in what you need, or be open to receiving what the universe delivers, in whatever form it arrives.

    Becoming
    This blog is an invitation to stop.  Breathe.  And tap into the part of you that craves more space, inspiration, and nurturing.  It captures the writings from my Delight for the Soul Newsletter.  They are personal moments of reflection, inspiration, and questioning that focus on Being rather than Doing.  It's a direction we are all invited to go in, as we live deeply and do less.  The more we focus on being, the more delighted we become . . . and the more becoming we are.
