Even though Twitter was down for a bit and I completely missed this chat, the #omhg community managed to get in an awesome chat with our co-hosts Jen & Jenna from The Maven Circle anyway on how to trust & celebrate our own inner awesome.
Some of the highlights were:
ohmyhandmade Yesterday @themavencircle shared a fab post + printable on unleashing our own awesomehttp://t.co/x0kDORgi #omhg
Question 1: What keeps you from celebrating your own awesome?
- @ohmyhandmade That voice in my head that tells me no one will like me if I am any good at anything #omhg storyofmum
- @ohmyhandmade Sometimes the mean girl (me) that @blahcubed talked about the other day! http://t.co/tADpp8aF #omhg handmadesuccess
- I know for me, I’m letting my husband’s unhappiness at his job affect my awesomeness. #omhg CormierCreative
Question 2: Do you feel like it is socially awkward to be unapologetically sure of your own awesome?
- I love this quote: “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us… ” http://t.co/nW1DQCPu#omhg @ohmyhandmade storyofmum
- My goodness! An amazing week thanks to you all! Awesomeness in full Gear! But crowded mind space sometimes hurts my awesome. #omhg
- ColleenAttara
- @ohmyhandmade @ColleeenAttara I def need to work on this – need to find my own voice w/out feeling the need to justify myself #omhg Miletteoutloud
Question 3: Let’s explore the difference? RT @twobysea Arrogance vs. confidence RT @ohmyhandmade: Do you feel like it is socially awkward to be unapologetically sure of your own awesome?
- You have to reach a certain level of self-confidence. Or develop that “screw it” attitude that frees you from what others think #omhg ThreeBySea
- @ohmyhandmade It is funny bc none of us would probably be arrogant + turn people off. Chats like this will help us share our best! #omhg handmadesuccess
- You cant argue the facts of your inner awesome. RT @ohmyhandmade: Lets explore the difference? #omhg
- TrashN2Tees
- It’s only at nearly 40 that I am finding the confidence to be myself more, not just the exhausting competent/apologetic version of me #omhg storyofmum
- @ThreeBySea so true. I think as we get older we become more of ourselves. Who we are meant to be. Hug that person! #omhg ColleenAttara
- Love this! So, so true! RT @TrashN2Tees: sometimes it takes someone else to celebrate your awesomeness, for you to embrace it. #omhg MeaganVisser
Question 4: How does it feel when you are secure in your awesome vs. fighting your fabulousness? How do you push past the argument with self?
- @ohmyhandmade ooh, I like that! I have some crazy dance parties with me, the dog & cats for stress relief 🙂 #omhg miss_modish
- @ohmyhandmade Music is great for drowning out the chatter when I just gotta get things done! #omhg kittyscuriosity
- @ohmyhandmade Sometimes it helps to step outside yourself & do something for someone else. Helping others affirms your awesomeness. #omhg designcoyote
- @ColleenAttara #omhg I agree. You have to know it isn’t selfish to be self-preserving. You’ll have more to give in a genuine way to others. IAMTHELAB
- @themavencircle We could totally do a fun submission thing & splice together videos of us doing our crazy dances! #omhg ohmyhandmade
- @IAMTHELAB This is definitely something I have been learning! The silly me feels right! #omhg handmadesuccess
- am grateful everyday that only i can control my awesomeness #omhg thekitty
And despite Jess getting kicked out of the Chat Room at 2pm, the lively conversation kept going for another half hour, due to its late start!
