Were you told from a young age that you needed to be a high achiever? Did you have to consistently get good grades, be active in extracurriculars, and pursue higher education?
If so, you likely had to do so while walking a fine line of not being too outgoing or seeming garish. From childhood women are told they need to comport themselves to societal expectations of what it means to be feminine.
Where does that leave you as a high achieving adult?
Likely with a relentless feeling that whatever you accomplish still isn't enough.
Who gets to decide when you are good enough?
It's healthy to recognize your inner voice and to stop allowing external forces decide your worth.
YOU ARE WORTHWHILE. YOU ARE LOVEABLE. YOU ARE ENOUGH.
These facts are true no matter what accomplishments you do or don't achieve.
Call to action:
- Take time each day to identify evidence in your life that supports the beliefs that you are worthwhile, loveable, and enough.
