I love this quote, BUT it also makes me cringe!
You ARE Amazing!
You ARE Worthy & so Valuable!
But if all you’ve ever heard is:
“You should be more like …”
“You’re ugly or dumb”
“You’ll never be anything”
“You’re just like your …”
OR
If trauma has taught you that you don’t have control over your body, silenced your voice and rendered you powerless.
How are you supposed to “hold your head high and start loving yourself right now??”
Consider this, self-love, confidence and care is a learned behavior.
My confidence in my work comes from my Mother who always told me, “you can do anything you put your mind to!” However, my fear of stepping into the unknown and my preference to play it safe is also rooted in my mother’s words.
Before you can truly love yourself, just as you are, these belief systems that have been deeply embedded into our identities must be called out, denounced and restructured!
So I write today to validate you. There is a reason you aren’t the bold, confident, daring individual that you desire to be.
Everything you need to thrive is already in you! You CAN get there, and you will love yourself again. But you may need a little help identifying the root of your insecurities. Never be ashamed to ask! We’re so much stronger together.
I’m rooting for you. I’m proud of you! I believe in you and I love you, just as you are, right where you are!
💕Gwen
