Not skinny enough
Not pretty enough
Not smart enough
Not accomplished enough
Not confident enough
Not a good enough mom or sister or best friend.
Not a good enough athlete or student or teacher.
Remember this negative thought spiral?
These same thoughts and feelings used to consume me.
Honestly, sometimes they still do.
We all experience them – uncertainly, jealousy, fear, anxiety.
It’s part of being a human.
Sometimes the thoughts don’t last long.
Other times, they linger and drag out for days or weeks or months.
Sometimes those thoughts suddenly become a part of you.
Shedding those thoughts becomes harder and harder by the day,
that voice inside of you persisting that you will never be enough.
It tells you need to
lose the weight,
tone your body,
get the promotion or raise,
start cooking more healthy meals,
get married and achieve that “trophy wife” status,
dress your kids in the cutest matching outfits,
get your nails done, eyebrows filled, and Botox injections (gotta stay young),
have the nicest house and car,
oh and, of course, you must have the most well behaved, smartest, most talented kids.
Tell that voice to take a long walk off a short cliff.
Seriously, aren’t you tired of all the ideals you are “supposed” to live up to?
For far too long, I believed the only way to achieve true self-acceptance was by having more and doing more.
I thought that if I made myself busy, achieved all my goals and tasks, then I could reach true happiness.
The problem was the thoughts that revolved around me “not being enough” never ended.
No matter how thin I got or how much money I made or how “picture perfect” my life seemed to be,
I was miserable underneath.
Eventually, I hit burnout in a bad way.
I needed change.
I knew there had to be another way to live.
A better, fuller life was out there for me, I just needed to find my way.
I took the journey. I went deep. I broke every rule I thought kept my life together, shook up my beliefs, and
let my thoughts about myself become pure, free from the shackles of negativity.
I took this journey and now, I want you to take it with me.
