Somewhere, somehow during your life you got the message that you aren’t good enough just as you are. You were influenced to think of yourself as broken and need to be fixed. You think thoughts such as ‘something must be wrong with me and life just isn’t working out for me’. You may feel like you just aren’t something enough. You aren’t smart enough, educated or trained enough, good looking enough, young enough, successful enough etc. etc.
You have been misinformed. You have beliefs, perceptions and conceptions about yourself that simply aren’t true. They were given to you very early in life from people you believed in that had their own limiting thoughts, beliefs and perceptions.They run like old worn out programs influencing how you think and feel about yourself.
The way to no longer have these limiting beliefs is to begin to replace them with the beliefs you need that cause you to feel good about yourself regardless of these influences. You will need to decide who you want to be. You will need to stop allowing the limiting negative thoughts that are causing you to feel like you are broken and become very good at allowing the kinds of thoughts and feelings about yourself that are true, including that you aren’t broken and that you are worthy of the good life you desire. Shape your consciousness to align with what you want to believe about yourself. It is a practice until you become your new thoughts. Just keep practicing.
Self acceptance and self love are absolutely necessary to cultivate to be able to let go of this false perception that you are broken and not good enough right now as you are. We are all perfect in our own imperfect way. Challenging ourselves to become more is always a good choice. There is no limit to becoming more loving, kind, compassionate or a better anything ie: parent, partner, family member, friend, neighbor, employer, employee, etc.
Practice seeing yourself as someone who is a wonderful addition to this life. Send yourself the message that you love and accept yourself as you allow for growth and expansion into a greater version which has no real limitations.
Question these negative thoughts about yourself. Start a journal dedicated to all the positive aspects about yourself. Send the message that you care about yourself first and take healthy actions that support that message.
You aren’t broken and you don’t need to be fixed. With practice, over time you will begin to know the truth about yourself, which is that you are good and are here for a good life.
