I grew up thinking I wasn’t ENOUGH.
As a child, never felt like I was GOOD enough, was POPULAR enough, SMART enough, MATTERED enough.
I carried these beliefs into adulthood. I was still not ENOUGH. I never felt like I had ACCOMPLISHED enough, MADE enough, HAD enough.
I chased bigger jobs, bigger promotions, and bigger titles.
My life has been full of anxiety, worry, fear, and stress.
At some point, I developed some acute awareness that I was living this way BUT I was nervous to change.
That’s because I believed that my worry, anxiety, and stress were CREATING my SUCESS. I was afraid to let these feelings go because I was afraid that I couldn’t be successful WITHOUT those things. I worried I would become complacent.
I’ve since realized, that thinking is GARBAGE.
In the past few years, I’ve flipped the script, changed the narrative, and started thinking differently about my accomplishments. I’ve realized that anxiety, worry, and stress has NOT propelled me to be successful. I could’ve and would’ve been JUST as successful WITHOUT those things.
In the lasts few years, I’ve stopped these things:
📛 People-Pleasing
📛 Saying Yes to Everyone and Everything
📛 Trying to Make Everyone Happy
📛 Living life the way my parents taught me to
📛 Worrying daily about how much I weigh or how I look
📛 Endless thought about what people think of me
📛 Trying to be perfect and without flaw or fault
Instead, I’ve started:
📛 Setting and Enforcing Boundaries
📛 Saying No to things I don’t want to do
📛 Slowing down and enjoying the momennt
📛 Thinking about what I really want
📛 Viewing mistakes and failures as learning opportunities
📛 Meditating, journaling, and really listening to myself
I promise you that you can be just as successful, happy, fulfilled, wealthy, strong, powerful, and courageous if you approach life without the endless worry about how you’re perceived, what others want you to do, and if you’re ENOUGH.
If anything, you can be MORE of those things.
