Advice, advice, advice...
There seems to be a lot of it to go around!
Even Alice in Wonderland sang about it - "I give myself very good advice, but I seldom follow it and that explains the trouble I'm always in!"
It can be complex about why we don't take our own advice, but Pat, the Goal Coach. has come up with a thought to ponder. Why do we give advice to others so freely and easily? wow! and seldom take our own?
Consider this...
when we give advice, we are really saying "NO" to ourselves and transferring what we really might want for ourselves in life to someone else! Now there is nothing wrong with spreading gems of wisdom, but they very well may be for us.
In a Psychology Today article 6/18/2019, "What Advice Would You Give Yourself?" by Robin Kowalski and Annie McCloud showed a survey where they concluded half of the people said they lived by their own advice and it helped them become the person they wanted to be and helped them become the person they admired. This is in no way the complete context of the article, which is definitely worth a read.
What impressed me was the bold move to take one's advice and drawing people to you...
Why? To ask your advice!
Go forward and take your own!
