“Worthiness doesn’t have prerequisites.”
― Brené Brown.
Is there a woman out there who doesn’t question if she’s good enough? Smart enough, attractive enough, interesting enough. We’ve been told we’re the generation of women who can ‘have it all’. This has set us on a path of striving to ‘be it all’. It’s downright impossible to be it all so we’re setting ourselves up for failure.
Striving to be perfect and to ‘be it all’ sabotages our happiness. It leads to a gnawing sense of dissatisfaction with our lives. But there’s a cure for it. We need to believe that WE ARE ENOUGH. This means embracing our quirks and imperfections.
The most powerful words that can transform our relationship with ourselves and with others are “I am enough”. It’s the start of cultivating a more loving relationship with yourself. Repeating these words often to ourselves is a game-changer. Take your lipstick and write it boldly on your bathroom mirror to remind you!
We don’t need anybody else to tell us we’re enough. Our self-worth isn’t negotiable.
“Love with your whole heart. Practice gratitude. Lean into joy. Believe you are enough”.
~ Bréne Brown
#self-worth
It’s so liberating when this finally sinks in. Why does it take so long for us to learn this, and how do we do a better job of teaching it to our daughters? Thank you for reminding us.
Thanks Amy for your comment. It is sad that it takes us so long for the message that we’re enough as we are to sink in… I think the best way of teaching it to our daughters (and our sons) is to show that we’re comfortable in our own skin, that we don’t speak negatively about ourselves as it’s amazing how they pick up so much from observing how we treat ourselves. xo
