What If You Already Are Enough?
š Issue #2: You Are Already Enough
š© Subject: What If You Already Are Enough?
I see you. Youāre exhausted from trying to be everything for everyone. You take care of others so well that you forget about yourself. You second-guess your worth, replaying old stories that tell you youāre not enoughāuntil youāve done more, fixed more, been more.
But hereās the truth that I need you to hear today:
š” You donāt have to earn your worthiness. You are already enough.
⨠This Weekās Affirmation:"I am worthy of love, success, and abundance exactly as I am."
Read that again. Slowly. Let it settle in your bones.
Because I know what youāre thinkingā¦"But what about all the times Iāve messed up?""What about the ways I havenāt shown up like I said I would?""What about the times Iāve let myself down?"
Your worth isnāt measured in productivity, perfection, or how much you can give to others before you give to yourself. You are inherently enoughāwithout any need to ever prove yourself.
DID YOU KNOW-
One of the biggest wounds people carry through their lives whether they realize it or not is feeling unworthy. Because of all the messaging we picked up in our lives and the way our brains interpreted it, this becomes a HUGE block for all things good that try to come our way. Reminding yourself of your worthiness seems like a small silly act but itās really powerful.
š¬ Letās Get Real:
When was the first time you learned that love or approval had to be earned? That you had to perform to be accepted? Because for most of us, that belief didnāt start with usāit was some generational BS that got passed down to us. Not to mention learning that we had to be "good girls" to be loved.
But youāre not a little girl anymore. You donāt have to live by those rules.
šæ How This Shows Up in Your Life
ā You struggle to say no because you donāt want to disappoint anyone.ā You replay conversations in your head, worrying about how you came across.ā You put yourself last, thinking youāll rest after everything is done (but everything is never done).ā You crave validation but feel guilty for needing it.ā You keep waiting for the āright timeā to choose yourselfābut that time never seems to come.
Listen, you are already enough. Right now. As you are.
So hereās my challenge for you this week: Do something for yourselfānot because you "deserve" it, but simply because you exist.
⨠Take the nap.⨠Buy the book.⨠Say "no" without over-explaining.⨠Look in the mirror and say, āI am enough.ā
Because you are. No disclaimers. No exceptions.
Write this weekās affirmation down and put it somewhere you can see it often. Bonus points if it ends up on a sticky note on your bathroom mirror-thatās my FAVORITE!
