You are worthy for just being you

It’s so easy to get caught up in the chase of proving your worth - getting A’s at school, showing how helpful you can be, showing how well you fit in. The thing is, that if it’s not really what you want - but you think it’s what others want from you - you end up stepping out of who you are in order to please others. And then wonder why you feel confused, generally crunchy and not great about yourself. It’s because by trying to prove your worth to others, you’re forgetting about yourself.

There is no shame in this - we are conditioned to believe that achieving what others want or want from us is the key to success. It can feel unsafe to do anything different. And it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can take small steps to follow your heart and your integrity to show yourself that you’ll be safe. You can hold self-compassion for the parts who feel like if they step out of the box bad things will happen. You can slowly work on dismantling the story that your worth is tied to what others think of you. Small, meaning steps toward YOU.✨

It’s not easy, it takes time, and it’s a practice - I’ve been working on it myself for years. And that’s also ok. Keep going - there’s no perfectionism here. It’s simply the slow, steady walk back to yourself.
