🫣 I’m not good enough ☹️

How often do you catch yourself thinking things like:

🌟"I'm just not smart enough to figure this out."

🌟"I don't deserve to be successful or happy."

🌟"I'm not as good at my job as my colleagues."

🌟"No matter how hard I work, it's never good enough."

🌟"I'm not good-looking or likable enough for people to care about me."

🌟"I'm a failure compared to everyone else."

🌟"My ideas aren't good enough for people to listen to."

🌟"I always mess things up; I'll never get it right."

🌟"People will realise soon that I'm not as capable as they think."

🌟"I don't fit in here; I'm way out of my league."

🌟"I don't deserve love or respect from anyone."

🌟"I should be doing better than I am; I'm falling behind everyone."

🌟"I don't have what it takes to be really happy."

🌟 "I need to be perfect to be accepted, but I'm far from it."

It's quite the list, isn't it? Like an over-enthusiastic artist, our minds sometimes paint a picture that's more Dali-surrealism than a realistic portrait. These thoughts can crowd our mental gallery, each one a chaotic imitation Pollock screaming for attention.👀

Thoughts like these are pretty common and are often a sign that we're feeling self doubt & judgment. But you're definitely not alone in this.

Many people feel this way. It's like an annoying bad habit that can really bring us down. This kind of thinking can lead to feeling disconnected from everything – our feelings, our body, our thoughts, our hobbies, our drive, and our relationships. We might just go through the motions every day or try too hard to please others because we're not feeling great about ourselves.

We end up living by default, by demand, in distress & dysfunction.

Feeling disconnected like this doesn't just go away on its own. It needs us to really care for ourselves and believe in ourselves. And it's not as hard as it might seem. You've got what it takes to make the most out of your life... you just have to start by being a bit curious and kind to yourself.

This is the first step towards dealing with those feelings of "I am not enough." And we'll only sort this out in the big picture if we start with ourselves first.

So for anyone that needs to hear this - read aloud the following:

➡️I am more than I know, I have so much untapped potential, possibilities and intriguing opportunities ahead of me. I deserve all the joy & adventure and abundance that is waiting for me to claim it. My time is now. I have all I need to move forward and I am ready for my greatest moments. I’ve got this - world watch out…I’m here & ready to make my mark!⬅️

🫡 Go you! You’ve got this! And there’s a bunch of us here who are cheering you on👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼💫
