Many of us get the idea that we’re not enough as we are. We’re not worthy until we do something different or become someone different.
Where did this idea come from? Perhaps from the criticisms from parents or friends. Perhaps from the impossible image of perfection reflected to us from the glossy magazines. Perhaps from a former partner who made us feel less than.
What if you took all that effort you are spending to change, and channeled it into loving and accepting yourself as you are? How might you show up differently if you felt good about who you are today, exactly as you are. That’s time well spent. From that position you could begin to influence others to do the same. Wouldn’t we all feel better in that space?
And then, from that position of strength, of self-acceptance, you can decide what you want to change. But you’ll be doing it because you want to, not because someone made you feel less worthy than you are.
Try this ONE thing
Decide right now that you are perfectly worthy exactly as you are and that nothing about you needs to change unless you truly want it to.
Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, and the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.
The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
