Struggle 3 Recognising you are enough as you are
Who gets to decide what being enough is?
Have you stopped to think about, What is enough anyway? Are you measuring your enoughness with an unrealistic image of perfection?
I will let you in on a little secret – You get to decide what enough is!!!
Nobody else gets to decide what enough means to you. You can only decide for yourself.
It can be a constant internal battle to feel enough. With judge yourselves in so many ways as not being enough.
That voice in your head tells you: I’m not pretty, I’m not skinny, I’m smart, I’m not confident enough. The list goes on and on…..
But the reality is you hold all the power you get to decide what being enough is for yourself. No one outside of you can decide that for you. You are the only one that can decide what enough looks and feels like for you. You have a choice you can continue to strive for some unrealistic image of being good enough. Or you can get crystal clear in your own mind about what your version of being enough is.
Journal Practice for defining being enough
In your journal answer these questions to get clear about what enough means to you.
What does being enough feel like?
What does being enough look like?
Define what being enough means to you?
Being enough is a working progress. Your mind will look for ways to tell you are not enough. Unfortunately, this is what the mind does. But you know have something very powerful and that’s awareness. The first step to change is being aware of the thoughts and feelings that are coming up for you. Be aware of what enough means to you. Shut off the loud voice of the outside world.
“You are enough exactly as you are”
Celebrate yourself instead of judging yourself. Because we all have those messy broken and imperfect parts to us. And you know what that’s ok because you’re working a progress and every day you growing learning and doing the best you can. And that is enough.
