Do you feel like you're not enough? In this episode I provide strategies to overcome feeling like you aren't enough. It's important to find evidence to support the belief that you are enough because if you currently don't feel like you're enough, you will find evidence to support that. We just love to be right, even if it hurts us!
Proving to yourself you are enough in various areas of life, including work, friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, and the relationship with oneself is highly beneficial in overcoming these destructive feelings. By embodying the evidence and countering negative beliefs, we can feel confident in our self-worth.
Takeaways
*Feeling not enough is rooted in shame and the need for approval from others.
*Resolving the feeling of not being enough is an internal process that cannot be resolved through external validation.
*Actively look for evidence in different areas of your life, such as work, friendships, family, romantic relationships, and the relationship with oneself, and identify specific instances where you have felt good enough.

Positive affirmations are meant to help us rewire our subconscious mind by getting rid of limiting beliefs that hold us back from being who we truly are, and going after the life we desire. However, simply repeating affirmations without believing them can be toxic because we don't see the changes we had hoped for. We feel like we failed ourselves.
Reframing affirmations into questions and providing evidence to support them can help overcome resistance and make affirmations more powerful. Consistently practicing this technique for three months can lead to transformative changes in behavior and emotions.

We all have people in our lives that support us in our dreams, celebrate the good stuff, and are there for us during hard times. We also have people who are unsupportive of our dreams, are reluctant to celebrate with us, and don't meet us how we hoped in difficult times.

Other people’s beliefs and should(s), are worth considering, but if they don’t enhance the quality of our life, get rid of them. We waste ridiculous amounts of time and energy comparing ourselves to others and guilting ourselves when we’ve done nothing morally wrong. Then we punish ourselves based on not meeting the expectations of other people’s beliefs and what they think we should be doing.
When we do this, we disconnect from our own beliefs, needs, desires, and ultimately our authentic self and give others power not just over our lives, but over our true identity. We grow weak in our decision making and don’t trust ourselves because we’ve stopped thinking for ourselves and have adopted what they think or believe without considering if it’s true for us.
If we want to keep growing and evolving, we need to stay strong in our beliefs and authenticity by challenging some common beliefs and misconceptions that often result in pulling us away from who we truly are and cause us to feel ashamed, not enough, guilty, like failures, or rotten, uncaring people.
Listen and reflect as I unpack 7 lies that kill our authenticity.
