My mom once told me a story about our first family cat, Phyllis. Phyllis had a good life in a good home, but there was something missing: confidence. She was always hiding in the corner or behind the couch when people were around.
To help Phyllis become more confident, she would put her on top of the refrigerator every day for one hour. After several weeks of being up high and looking down upon the rest of us, Phyllis became more confident and felt like “the queen of the hill”.
We always say that animals are a lot like humans; therefore humans must be a lot like animals.
Moral of the story…if you are feeling insecure during the holidays because you ate too much turkey or your mother in law said your casserole was bland, go sit on your roof or stand on top of a hill. Maybe it’ll work for you.
