KNOW YOUR WORTH
Self-worth and its various counterparts of worthiness, feeling worthy, feeling seen and valued, feeling heard and respected, and honored for who we are…are hugely predominant themes with women of all ages. They have been swirling in so many women that I engage with, as well as in myself, as of late (and really for as long as I can remember…It is truly epidemic!).
I sit in circles and across the room or screen regularly with incredible, powerful, and beautiful women and these themes emerge repeatedly with varying flavors.
I can certainly recognize that there may be moments in many of our lives where we DO indeed feel that engulfment of worth, yet it feels to be a permeating issue of actually residing from, embodying, and maintaining this state of being….feeling WORTH and WORTHY.
Where did so many women lose that feeling of worth in themselves?
How did so many women end up with an empty tank of worth that is inherently their birthright?
Why did so many of us get the message that we are not worthy? Worthy of love? Worthy of well-paid work? Worthy of authentic, vulnerable, and supportive connections? Worthy of recognition in the work that we are creating and offering? Worthy of time alone? Worthy of slowing down and not doing everything? Worthy of a mutually supportive and respectful relationship? Worthy of self-care and spending money on ourselves and resting….the list is truly endless.
Without the guilt. The guilt that is associated with feeling worthy enough for the level of care, connection, and value that we all deserve is toxic.
You are worthy of love, of rest, of nourishment, of authentic connection, of abundance, of kindness, of time and space for yourself, of slowing down, of deep self-care…
I don't have the magic answer here, but what I do know is that when women start to meet themselves, hold themselves, and wrap themselves in this feeling of inherent worth, everything shifts. Relationship dynamics, how we feel in our skin, our embodied sense of steadiness from deep within, our voice becomes clearer, and we start to move through the world with a courageous heart and a sense of bold confidence that becomes unshakable.
Do you know what it feels like to move through the world infused with this, perhaps, elusive feeling of worth?
What comes up for you, personally, around this topic of worth and feeling worthy?
What outside affirmation are you, perhaps, unconsciously or consciously seeking to validate your worth?
Are you aware of what you are searching for in order to feel that “stamp of approval” to feel your worth?
May this message probe you further into inner inquiry around your relationship with worth, feeling worthy, and how you move through your lives in relation to this extremely important aspect of our humanness.
As always, I love hearing from you and what comes up for you in reading my words. Reach out anytime!
Wishing you all a beautiful and connected start to this new season of Fall!
My favorite time of year…soak up the magic and wisdom that this season holds.
The invitation to slow down, to drop in, to breathe into, and really open our eyes wide to the gorgeous unfolding that Fall offers us.
An opportunity to honor yourselves and the changes that you are experiencing while simultaneously beginning to release that which is outdated and complete.
