In a recent session with a client, it came up that they often feel as if they are either too much to handle or don’t quite measure up. (In fact, this “too much/not enough” theme comes up A LOT in my conversations – with most womxn that I work with / interact with / hang with having some flavor of this indoctrination.)
As we spoke, I lovingly challenged my client: For WHOM are we too much? For WHOM are we not enough? Whose standards are we trying to magically meet? A lightbulb went off for her.
Never once do we stop to assess “Am I too much for ME? Am I enough for ME? What are MY standards for myself?”.
This preoccupation of how we measure up to others stems from a toxic belief that our worth is negotiable with others. This belief distracts us from listening to and embodying our truth. We were not born with these beliefs; they were planted in us.
The good news? WE get to decide what we keep growing within us, and what we weed out. I invite you to join me in uprooting these pervasive and harmful narratives, liberating ourselves moment by moment.
Especially during this winter holiday season, when many experience pressure to perform for others - i.e. when your cooking, parenting, clothing, gifting, home, etc… is apparently up for scrutiny - please remember: your worth is not negotiable.
Say it with me, loud and proud: I am inherently worthy.
