The Momentum Life Project

For many years, okay my whole life really, I have thought playing down compliments was a sign of humility, a sign of ‘not thinking too much of yourself’ of being a non-arrogant human. But recently I’ve had a massive wakeup call and realised that I’ve been approaching this all wrong. Like SO wrong. On the latest episode of the Momentum Life Project I outline how this wake up call happened and what I’ve now realised is not me being humble, or ensuring that I do not come across as arrogant or ‘thinking I’m great’. What it’s actually doing is undermining and devaluing the person giving the compliment in the first place. It’s a total lose-lose and, you heard it hear first - it’s stopping right now! Call it a symptom of imposter syndrome, call it social conditioning or perceived etiquette but whatever it is, it’s something a lot of us suffer with - the inability to accept compliments - and it’s costing us big time! I’ll share the worst thing I ever did when rebuking a compliment (still can’t believe I did this!) W
